In all honestly, I don't know who the bigger dick was....the guy who"Are you just off the boat" or the customer saying"Did you just come from Domo?"....a gas chain insinuating that he was a idiot I believe.He also said"can I speak with your ghetto Manager" which is a bit of racism in itself.It is amazing how fast Sears flinched.Guy lost his job.....smells like a bit of a set up to me.The retail guy kept his cool a lot longer then I would.....I would have walked his ass in and finished the conversation.

It was a setup evidenced by camera filming
Is "off the boat" really a racist term though? I dont think so...

I was going to say, I believe he said he was Indian(which I believe is a self inflicted derogatory term.It's native American ).What would that have to do with coming off boats?Again, this just seemed too put together.Camera in hand and buttons ready to be pushed.Sometimes when people lash out it's not about deep seated racism but retaliation.If someone trashed me with a "dumbass" comment in front of other people I'd probably lash out to.

I'd agree. Perhaps anti-immigrant but I've heard it used about Whites more than any other race.

Still not a wise term to use.

Both act like assholes...I would've laid the customer out if I will only lose a job from Sears...but of course there's always assault and battery you need to think of. Not very well played by both parties. But that was a dick move by the staff. You can't make comments like that ...

Off the boat is only racist to people who are utterly ignorent of how people traveled across the pond before the air age.
Oh an of course to anyone who aches to be offended at something, anything. A lot fo those around.

...did you even read what you linked?
1907 it was a point of immigration (for the US) and was essentially closed by 1924 as processing was done in overseas embassy (except for rare cases like refugees or displaced persons)
Back in those years most immigrants were WHITE (with the odd chinese thrown in) so again, HOW is that in any way relevant to an Indian?

I still think this was a setup

"Off the boat" is racist period, regardless if you are applying the pejorative properly.

I can't believe you guys are even debating that. It's ridiculous.

the hobby needs more capitalism
All I saw was two idiots. Both knuckleheads.

I'd say Asian guy blowing up was the bigger one tho.

Considering nearly every white immigrant ever to this country arrived by boat how in the world is it racist?
