A Brookfield Zoo employee was fired after posting a racist comment on Instagram.
Shana Poohpooh Latrice worked at the zoo’s concession stand.
Not anymore.
Poor Poohpooh.
The Chicago Tribune reported:
Brookfield Zoo officials said Tuesday they have fired an employee who was pictured in a social media post with a racially insulting comment about zoo customers.
“We do not tolerate this behavior,” zoo spokeswoman Sondra Katzen said.
The posting showed what appeared to be a selfie of the worker in a Brookfield Zoo cap and shirt at a concession stand. The employee indicated she was at Brookfield Zoo.
A message with the photo read: “Wassup y’all? At work serving these rude ass white people”
If you lump people together based on skin color while making derogatory generalizations, you're a racist. #Fired pic.twitter.com/jiQjDch84F
