Reply to comment by jjmenace in In honor of ice cream places opening soon do you call them “Jimmies” or “Sprinkles”? by IamMikey1

Go say it to a little black girl’s face while you’re ordering and convince her you’re not trying to be offensive. I was made so uncomfortable when I used to work at JP Licks on Newbury St. I just tacked it onto the list of things white ppl do that make us feel shitty about but can’t do anything about. I just smiled and nodded it away. The history doesn’t matter, it’s the connotation. And frankly my friends you can’t change how it makes non-whites feel. The rest of the country has no problem calling chocolate or rainbow- sprinkles. The ppl who care enough will change their ways and the nonempathetics will keep do their thing knowingly. That’s just how ppl are- stuck in their bubbles only thinking about themselves and no one else around them.

Reply to are people aware of their neighbor's houses might be producing meth before buying it? by NecessaryMistake9754

Real estate agents depend on referrals. If I hire a buyer’s broker, I’d tell them I expect to be informed of any issues that would affect the value of the house that they know about or should know about. If a law that affects my purchase is likely to be passed, I want to know about it. I want my broker to look out for me as they would themselves. If they don’t, they won’t get a good referral out of me and I might sue.

To end the back and forth over whether 'jimmies" is racist or not let's just agree to call all jimmies and sprinkles regardless of color by the obviously superior choice... Fairy shit 🧚‍♂️.

"yeah I'll take a two scoop, and a couple of single scoops for the kids, oh and make sure the fairy shits all over them. Thanks."

"According to the Boston Globe, one potentially viable origin story for the sprinkles term comes from confectionary company Just Born—the monster best known for Easter’s most divisive treat, the Peep. The company doesn’t give a hard date on the invention, but credits the name to the employee who invented them (his name was Jimmy, obviously)."

*Just Born is a PA company
