#BuyACoffeeFromJosie: The Way This Manager Handled A Racist Customer Was Perfection

Often times we fail to remember that racism is not just an American problem. It began overseas, internationally and it continues. Even in places that seem completely removed from the Atlantic slave trade. Places like Australia.

Josie Ajak, a South Sudanese woman, moved to Australia with her parents when she was 8-years-old. Today, she manages a coffee shop in Cairns in Queensland. According to BuzzFeed Australia, Ajak was making coffee last week when a customer, a White woman, decided to act a complete fool. Ajak told BuzzFeed, “[The woman] said “Get me a White lady. [I told her] ‘that’s fine,’ with a smile, and she moved aside, waiting for a White person. I told my staff that she is racist and that we won’t be serving her, while I continued serving other customers with a smile.”
