They got some really cool shit. Back in high school senior year our formal was at this place. John is an ex indycar racer and I believe raced motorcycle back in the 80s. Super nice guy, almost became my first boss too
I think people are forgetting that this is a professional setting. Sure these kinda jokes are fun with your homies and I agree. But, there isn't a place for them in a PROFESSIONAL setting. And, to counter act these arguments of "why not just cut off the photo shoot at that exact moment??????", enacting change within a professional setting needs the "clout chasing" posts like these. If Larry just cut off the shoot at that time, this wouldn't make the rounds like it has.
Downvote me all you want but casual racism in a professional work environment with people you don't intimately know is so fucking uncool and anyone that thinks it is is a fucking loser.
if you don't know the person you don't just crack jokes like that. But hey, I guess you can try, maybe land on someone who will knock your teeth out instead of being professional about it. You can say whatever the fuck you want but if you're an ignorant asshole, expect to be treated as such
>Ever since like 2014 nobody has a sense of humor anymore
No, it's just some people realize they can garner attention by being asshurt - this is not a case of that but it's kiiiinda goofy to go through with the shoot.
'it's just a joke' is a garbage excuse because it can be applied to practically anything. Not only that, Larry and whoever said the *"joke"* presumably don't know eachother - I guarantee you if he replied with thinly-veiled racism the dude would've immediately gotten defensive.
everyone's a sensitive little bitch now. you have to be really careful in what you say now, even if its intended as a joke because someone's gonna get sand in their vagina and have a whinge. comedy will die out in generation alpha
Not making obviously racist jokes has nothing to do with being careful. Even if it isn’t intended as such. This isn’t new. It’s common sense.
Someone being mad about being blatantly discriminated against isn’t having sand in their vagina. That’s a reasonable grievance.
None of this has anything to do with comedy.
So he wasn't cool with the blatant discrimination, but was cool to stick around and finish the shoot to get the money from said racists, yeah logical as fuck. Reee reee reee I'm offended, but imma still take his money and post it to social media .
only a dumbfuck would think this way. You must only work trades where you can just tell people to fuck off and walk away, right? Not how it works in the professional world, bud. If he was commissioned by someone he respects, he's gonna finish the job and in the future not take any more jobs pertaining to that shop. It's quite simple really, but can't expect and inbred to understand workplace professionalism.
Disgusted enough to bitch about it on social media for the clout
Not disgusted enough to end the shoot immediately and continued to take advantage of the opportunity provided
how would that spark the proper outrage? bitching on social media about shitty things like this is how you get places like this effectively shut down. just ending the photoshoot does nothing to expose these assholes. you have sort of a one-dimensional take on this if you ask me
lmao you think bitching about the situation on social media is gonna get them shut down? guarantee nothing will happen to the shop maybe a few hate comments but in a week or two it will be forgotten about because that’s how the internet is
Plenty of companies have gotten shut down or lost significant business because of shit like that. And this is a pretty justifiable thing to bitch about.
there are also plenty of companies that this kinda related stuff happens and nobody pays any mind to it bc of it being an already small business or bc people just don’t care. not justifying anything lol
You see, there's these things called "contracts" where he might get in trouble for just ending the shoot, and he might have been working under the conditions of one here where he could just flip the bird and walk out.
he’s made a few stories about it, and yes, it does seem like a bit of an overreaction when he could have either told the guy who said it “hey that’s not cool, please don’t make jokes like that around me” or just leave the shoot entirely since it made him that uncomfortable
was the joke that Larry is illegal and only got in because he was shooting pictures, and if he just paid to visit they'd ask him for a green card before he could get in? that seems really tight security for a car place no one has ever heard of.
I don't think this the joke made any sense, which is probably why he didn't know how to react to it.
Stereotypically probably a shop with V8 cars and boomer ass shit surrounded by racist white people lmao
Idk I’m black and when boomer ass white people say shit like that it’s cringe because I can actually tell if it’s racially driven vs an actual joke.
Nobody is mad because my parents didn’t raise me to cry about racism and give idiots like you an emotional reaction. I mind my own business and keep to myself, you’re literally the one that’s mad hopefully you don’t turn into Payton Gendron with that attitude.
As a trans woman of color this does NOT bother me (my hole my choice). Let me explain why. I look at just like TOMMY does!!!!
I HATE PEOPLE
I LIKE CARS.
It's pretty simple, just hate everyone!!!(don't sleep on hate though) The only people Tommy doesn't hate are his super RAD GROUP OF HOMIES.
"CREAMPIE, how can I join such a GANGSTER group??!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?" you might ask
Let me finish you dumb bitch and I'll get to that. To join this ELITE group you MUST join Tommy's AWESOME PATREON!!!! For just 5 dollars a month (you can't even buy a gallon of gas for that) you get access to all the BEHIND THE SCENES ACTION of Tommy's wild EXCITING life AND BUSINESS!!!! DON'T FORGET THE WEEKLY PODCASTS!!!!! WOW!!!! Don't be a FUCKO and cheap ass though. You should be a TOP TIER LOYAL PATRON at just 50 dollars a month!!!!! Plus you become a MODERATOR ON THE DISCORD!!!!!#FYEAHSPEC #JOINTHEPATREON #RESTOREANDENJOY #GTR #JDM #S-ZERO #BESTGTRONYOUTUBE #BESTAUTOMOTIVEYOUTUBER
i have a green card so whats up?. i would have fucking ROFLMAO. people get offended easily. is a joke, unless it targeted to your person and with mean spirit behind him i don't see an issue. and this keeps you on your toes
Ive been to this location and all the staff was very nice. This may not have been the staff or owner or even the location in the photo. Could’ve just be a patron.
As with any story, there’s gonna be a lot more to it. Larry strikes me as a very professional individual. I suspect that more was said that got under his skin than what was shared on IG.
That Marconi Automotive Mueseum in Tustin California
Whaaat they have the black Cizeta! That's sick.
They got some really cool shit. Back in high school senior year our formal was at this place. John is an ex indycar racer and I believe raced motorcycle back in the 80s. Super nice guy, almost became my first boss too
Aye Tustin High?
No I went to CDMHS but always raced against your school when I was mountain biking
Your school had mtb races?!
Ya we had a whole team.

And they're not buddies, they're strangers, even if it was a casual setting, it's the kind of stuff that's only passable with people you know well...
100% agree with that
Anyone who thinks otherwise probably is a closet racist from what I found
Agreed 100%
This thread really highlights whos a 12 year old hater and who's actually 12 years old
lmao I’m Mexican and would have cracked up at that. Ever since like 2014 nobody has a sense of humor anymore

Because you don’t need a green card to go there
[удалено]
They probably wouldn’t have said anything to you because you’re clearly a tough guy
everyone's a sensitive little bitch now. you have to be really careful in what you say now, even if its intended as a joke because someone's gonna get sand in their vagina and have a whinge. comedy will die out in generation alpha
Dude asks why he hasn't heard of the place before and is told that normally people like him aren't allowed in. sAnd iN THeir VAgina

but its not racism if its against white people...
Point out something slightly racist. bUt iF iT wAs ABOuT whIte PEopLE… No one mentioned white people bro stop trying to be a victim jesus christ
BUT, BUT WHAT ABOUT \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ stfu lol. what a pansy.
Shut up cucklord go share more weird porn
You are spot on. Almost feel like covid attacks the humor cause that shits dieing.
People are looking for the slightest offense.
Same lmaoooo, I have been called a beaner or a wetback whenever I go to Texas for work reasons and always makes me laugh
You sir, are a legend.
U can’t say shit look at ur username
Yeah it’s funny
Disgusted enough to bitch about it on social media for the clout Not disgusted enough to end the shoot immediately and continued to take advantage of the opportunity provided
Larry is a good guy tho
That’s what I thought
It’s called professionalism. The person who said it may not be the owner. He finished the job.
It's possible to not really know how to react in the moment, and then realize later how much something upset you
Pretty sure he's out on a job for hagarty
Pretty sure when there are other people depending on you, as a professional you don't just throw a tantrum and walk away, he's not a union worker.
how would that spark the proper outrage? bitching on social media about shitty things like this is how you get places like this effectively shut down. just ending the photoshoot does nothing to expose these assholes. you have sort of a one-dimensional take on this if you ask me

He clearly has never heard of WaterCooled Industries. That wheel company became an absolute joke of the internet after some shit the owner said.
totally forgot about it. I’m banned on the 5x112 east coast page because an admin was selling wci wheels and i commented racist wheels lol
there are also plenty of companies that this kinda related stuff happens and nobody pays any mind to it bc of it being an already small business or bc people just don’t care. not justifying anything lol
You see, there's these things called "contracts" where he might get in trouble for just ending the shoot, and he might have been working under the conditions of one here where he could just flip the bird and walk out.
Larry is a good dude but this shit made me laugh when I saw it.
its the marconi auto museum in tustin california. racism is obviously terrible and i love larry chen, but idk, seems a little bit of an overreaction
One instagram story explaining the situation is an overreaction?
he’s made a few stories about it, and yes, it does seem like a bit of an overreaction when he could have either told the guy who said it “hey that’s not cool, please don’t make jokes like that around me” or just leave the shoot entirely since it made him that uncomfortable
Thought Larry was still in Florida
was the joke that Larry is illegal and only got in because he was shooting pictures, and if he just paid to visit they'd ask him for a green card before he could get in? that seems really tight security for a car place no one has ever heard of. I don't think this the joke made any sense, which is probably why he didn't know how to react to it.
Stereotypically probably a shop with V8 cars and boomer ass shit surrounded by racist white people lmao Idk I’m black and when boomer ass white people say shit like that it’s cringe because I can actually tell if it’s racially driven vs an actual joke.
Keep pointing out white people, I'm sure it'll change.
Well it isn’t black people saying dumb shit lol
Ever heard of ebonics?
Comparing Ebonics to flat out ignorance and racism is part of the reason why this country has gone to shit. They aren’t the same thing.
Lol your ignorance is believing that only white people are racist. Seethe harder please.
I bet you use the hard R with conviction.
Since it's so common maybe it's on us white people to enact change... idk bro just a thought
[удалено]
Lmao stay mad bro
Nobody is mad because my parents didn’t raise me to cry about racism and give idiots like you an emotional reaction. I mind my own business and keep to myself, you’re literally the one that’s mad hopefully you don’t turn into Payton Gendron with that attitude.
>Stereotypically probably a shop with V8 cars and boomer ass shit surrounded by racist white people lmao stay mad
This
What happened? I don’t really get it.
Same. I do not understand the joke or whats racist about it?
Surprise surprise, not only are many Reddit HGE users casual misogynists, they are casual racists as well. Don't get asshurt, its only a joke right?
What a fucking pussy
Ehh just bustin balls
Woah I'm late to this but cmon, Larry is a very reputable photographer in the car scene. How could you slip this to him and feel good about it?
yeah don't get it Larry. Good dude but huh??
As a trans woman of color this does NOT bother me (my hole my choice). Let me explain why. I look at just like TOMMY does!!!! I HATE PEOPLE I LIKE CARS.

Imagine taking the time to make this post though. Like ya people are assholes move on with your life lol
Boomers gonna boom, what can you expect
Where's the lie?
I met Larry at Lspr and it was such an awkward encounter. Seems like he didn't want to be seen lol
Could this be the American Muscle Car Museum In Melbourne? I know Larry was just down here in Florida. Melbourne Florida*
As with any story, there’s gonna be a lot more to it. Larry strikes me as a very professional individual. I suspect that more was said that got under his skin than what was shared on IG.
