We are still in the dark ages, literally. Some people do frighten me with their astounding ignorance.
What are you without the sum of your parts?

What the heck? I can't understand what would drive someone to do something like that.
Is it the looks? Did he just look weird and the people were extreme racists, or was it because of the technology?
Racism I can understand, but never agree with. Technology? I have never heard of someone being racist towards a computer, I've never been assaulted by someone without a smartphone.
Some people are so retarded..

Why was he so angry? Perhaps McDonald's has some weird policy about cameras inside their restaurants (!?), but it's still baffling as to why the guy was so aggressive, ripped up official documents, and then tried to cover his name tag. If he was following (a still ridiculous) store policy, it's weird for it to affect him so personally and cause him to act unprofessionally.
Thankfully, McDonald's are checking this out. I haven't visited one in quite a while, but regardless I'm "boycotting" them until they sort this out and take responsibility for their employees.

That does surprise me. I mean in most places you could probably walk into a mcdonalds with a gorilla mask on and they would probably serve you. You could walk in dressed like Ronald mcdonald and they would probably still serve you. Why wouldn't they allow him in? My guess would be that there was some kind of incident recently in france that involved cameras or something, and so they associated it to that or something. I don't know though, I hadn't hear of anything.

Please don't throw the word racism around. This had nothing to do with racism, computers aren't a race and you can't be racist towards someone's glasses.

This is some crazy stuff right here. Strange times we live in indeed.
When more and more people get these cybernetic implants to help fix impairments, more and more people will be afraid of that and I can see segregation forming between cyborgs and non-cyborgs.
The future of bigotry starts here!

I make an animated series about time travel and the future of humanity called ExoTemporal Excursion. You'll like it. If you're into that sort of thing. I also draw.
