    Now go look in that box of Crayola for the one that’s gonna trigger the SJWs to fight against a language because some hillbillies used a word as a slur and now live rent-free in everyone’s heads.

    In latin america we say “Mi negro, mi flaco, mi gordo, mi pelado” (“My black, my skinny, my fatty, my baldie”) and could not care less. Sometimes even to strangers.

              It’s not taboo in Spanish. It’s literally how you say black.

              right, but if the dude in the comic gets nervous and has an issue saying black in English
              then it would be multiplied if he said it in Spanish

            Look, there’s half a billion of us and I’m not gonna reject the possibility that wherever you’re from people say “café negro” for some reason, but yeah, no, it’s “café solo” as far as I’m concerned. You might as well call café con leche “café beige”.

              My first time in Spain I asked for café negro and was corrected to say con leche. Not in a ‘that’s racist’ kind of way, but in a ‘that is inaccurate, even though we understand’ way.

                “Café negro” (which I’ve never heard for black coffee) would be “Café solo” or “Café sin leche” (literally, “coffee by itself”, or “coffee without milk”). “Café con leche” would be coffee with milk, which definitely is not black coffee.

                  Ok I remembered wrong. It must have been sin leche that they corrected me with. It was a long time ago and I haven’t spoke any Spanish since!

      Espresso != A regular black coffee. Espresso is way more concentrated, and is brewed using pressure. Regular black coffee implies the drip method.

        for the rest of the world normal is espresso and the thing with drip or wtv doesn’t even exist.

          That’s not true in most of northern, central or eastern europe, and arab coffee drinkers traditionally use neither.

          Nah, it’s not just murica. Here in Germany for example, if you order a cup of coffee you usually get filter coffee. If you want espresso, you have to order espresso.

        Or Perc. Black coffee could mean perc. But that really only happens in places that still think it’s the 50’s.

        (No judgement. Those diners are amazing, and better coffee than fartbucks.)

          I’ve never come across a place that uses a perc and doesnt burn their coffee, so honestly I find Starbucks better on that alone

          But the shitty espresso I can pull on my mr coffee beats both by miles

            But Starbucks coffee is also burned, but more because the beans are roasted too hard (which makes sense if you’re going to pour one espresso into a pint of milk, but it sucks if you drink it without milk).

              The coffee isn’t burned (at least if you order espresso), the beans are, but the beans at the place using the percolator is also using cheap, burnt beans AND burning the coffee with a percolator

              Neither is close to ideal coffee, but for me one is far worse

            That’s an inherent flaw of the classic US percolators, where the coffee drips back down into the boiling water. It’s near impossible to not burn st least some of the coffee. Even basic filter coffee is usually better.

          I think cowboy coffee can also be referred to as just black. But nobody in their right minds drinks that anymore.

    A regular coffee is 1 cream and 1 sugar, so the sentence in the first panel is a command. He’s even pointing at the guy while he says it. The nasty racist then backtracks when he notices the barrista’s cold dead stare and realizes he is large enough to snap him in half.

    I’m just being a shit, but really the more I think about that first panel, the more it annoys me.

      I think that’s regional, maybe to east coast US (or just NYC)? Anywhere else I’ve been in the US “regular coffee” referred to black coffee.
