aneongirl replied to your post: Today I almost got in a fight with a customer because he thought it was ok to call sprinkles “jimmies” despite knowing the racist origins of the term.
I hate when people call them jimmies. They’re not fucking jimmies. They’re sprinkles. It says so right on the goddamn label.
The problem I have is that he accused me over being overly politically correct for not going with his assessment that the term is no longer racist. Even though people don’t say “jimmies” with racist intentions, the word still serves as a memorialization of racist times. He wasn’t even an old guy. He must have just been Republican.
