Golden Corral Commercial Somehow Manages To Be Racist To Both Black and White People
Reader Email
Maurice,
I’ve seen this commercial a few times and to me its blatant racism. Black couple dip sets when they find out they’re going to an expensive restaurant. I live in charlotte so i dunno if this commercial is even aired up north, but i wanted the opinion of a person with the darker complexion, is this shit racist?

This is actually the second or third time this has been sent to me, but it was never before this moment that it became obvious that this ad is prejudiced on multiple levels.
First, the obvious: why does the black couple want out of the nice restaurant so bad? Are they that much poorer than the wife’s white friends? Do they not have the palate necessary to appreciate the culinary expertise of said inconsistent seafood chef? The fuck are you trying to say about this couple’s tastes and socioeconomical standing, Golden Corral?
On the other site: why does the white couple have to be so fucking uppity? What kind of woman even says “a tad bit pricey” in the CAR on the way to the restaurant. That conversation should have happened at least 30 minutes ago before they even left. This woman is acting like how black comedians impersonate white people to act. Is Golden Corral saying that white people are this inconsiderate and robotic?
This whole thing is a trainwreck. Can’t believe nobody at Golden Corral PR stopped for a second to think about what they’re saying. Like, even if they switched the race of the characters and it was a white couple JUMPING OUT OF A MOVING VEHICLE TO EAT BUFFET-STYLE SEAFOOD, it’s STILL racist because of the “your friends” comment. This commercial is an implosion.
Besides, what kind of people, black or white, would rather eat at Golden Corral than at a decent seafood restaurant? You don’t have to be upper class to enjoy a decent piece of salmon or some crab cakes. Maybe this is why our country is fatter than we thought. Because we’d rather eat 5 full plates of endless beef tips than pay the extra ten bucks to eat like civilized goddamned people.

Thank you Mo, I have been saying this exact thing to my wife for weeks every time the commercial comes on and she just gives me the “whatever idiot” look. This is why I come to Philly Barstool and bypass the others that simply recycle the same old tired shit week after week, we get it crackheads look funny in mugshots and drunk guys get in fights.
On another strange level why do they even have the black couple sitting in the back like they are being chaperoned to an 8th grade dance? When my wife and I meet friends for dinner we drive ourselves and meet them there, ridiculous.
How do I know Mo is black? “why does the black couple want out of the nice restaurant so bad?” Anyway, I see these commercials all the time in Boston and there isn’t a GoCo anywhere around here. PS – used to go there in college on Valentine’s day. Saddest place on Earf.
@hkylw21 If the black couple jumped out of their own car, that would just be ghost ridin’ da whip. Too confusing for the average Gorlden Corral diner to understand, old white america would inevitably think that there’s some new raper called Golden Corral.
forget the commercial….The red flags should have started flying as soon as they put the word “Corral” in the name of the restaurant. Obviously not the brightest company in the world.
“Black couple dip sets when they find out…” Dip Sets? Definite dip sets
It’s not racist because we all know two racists make a right. And what the fuck is up with people trying to find racism in EVERYTHING???? It’s plays on both stereotypes, but so does a commercial with a black person eating KFC, or a white person acting all snooty. When are we going to realize we are different?
We all know why the black folks wanted to go to the buffet, they don’t have to leave a tip.
“dip-set, dip-set, dip-set, dip-OWWWW….juelz dip-dip, santana set-set, what he grip-grip?, n*gga tek-teks”….that song ALWAYS gets me fired up, hahaha
honestly, i feel like if i was black i’d be all set to bail out too, just to avoid hanging out with obviously corny white folks. that shit was done without thinking twice. nothing spontaneous about, dude had a pre-planned exit strategy, called “FUCK that shit….DEUCES!”
you forgot that they made the black people sit in the back
