Twitter Goes In On Cringey White Boy Complaining About Bodegas In New York City

 

Quote

Twitter is not having it with a clueless white TikTok user who shared a video of himself searching for a “real” grocery store in New York City. The TikToker, who one Twitter user identified as Griffin Green, was confused why his maps app kept directing him to bodegas when he searched for grocery stores.

 

“OK, so just moved to New York and I’m trying to go grocery shopping and so I type in ‘grocery stores’ on my Apple maps and every f**king one I go to they’re like this s**t,” the TikToker said while pointing the camera to two corner stores.

 

He went on to describe that he was looking for a store where he could get “eggs, yogurt, cheese, s**t like that.”

 

He then took viewers inside one of the bodegas. He laughed off the store’s hot bar, referencing the popular TikTok trend “The Ocky Way.” According to Know Your Meme, “The Ocky Way” refers to a sandwich that Arabic New York City bodegas and deli chefs are known for.

 

“Where are the Krogers, where are the Whole Foods at,” he asked his viewers, still not convinced bodegas are actual grocery stores.

 

The video concludes with the TikToker complaining about having to eat “cereal and ramen” for dinner.

 

He addressed the backlash he received from the video in another TikTok. He said he thought it was “funny” his app kept directing him to bodegas instead of grocery stores.

 

He added that he relocated to New York for a new job and was waiting for his lease to start on his Upper East Side apartment while subletting a “s**thole” apartment for a few weeks.

 

“And yes it’s a s**thole you can’t even argue with me on that,” he said. “There’s like trash everywhere on the sidewalks and streets and there’s people sleeping on the sidewalk.”

 

One user shared another one of his TikToks talking about his experience at the gym in the Bronx. In the video, he notes he’s the only white person there, and in order for “these people to vibe with me more,” he decided to wear an NAACP muscle tee.

 

Another person shared a TikTok of him questioning whether “being gay is just a thing now.”

 

“He gets even worse with every video,” they tweeted of his TikTok.

 

One viewer also mentioned the gym video, noting that in the comments he referred to Black people as the “colored community.”

Where does it say he was fired though did I miss that?

 

It would be a bit much, at most he's just really dumb and clueless. Which wouldn't be surprising considering the reality of a white conservative guy from a white suburb in Michigan is VERY different from that of NYC. Give him the chance to adjust.

 

Hardly anything to get outraged about.

What a mess

[Into The Void]

How did they find where he worked

[Harrier]

The stores or whatever doesn't bother me, but him being so condescending about lgbt & pocs in the last two tiktoks.... yikes! Can't say I'm mad he got fired.

[Obsession]

I have come around to not being a fan of people getting fired for personal social media stuff actually. I think it's just a matter of time until it's weaponized en masse by others, especially as protections across the country get rolled back. 

 

I did read elsewhere that the company claims he broke the confidentiality agreement he signed by showing his employment letter on his tiktok (which is bad regardless, I wouldn't show people where I work online to begin with), but I think the company is pretty much covering their asses. 

[John Slayne]

see when you do clownery

Just watched those videos. Can't really find anything offensive about anything that he said unless I missed something.

 

1. The video with gay people was cute enough, he showed no homophobia and was actually nice and comfortable with everyone

2. The video about being the only white people in the Bronx is also not offensive in any way, because it can actually be true. I was in the Bronx last week and it took me a while to find another white person. Simply saying those things doesn't make him racist. It's just an observation. (don't know what his t shirt means tho) 

3. Whatever he said there about Manhattan is also true. There are heaps of trash bags all over each and every street and it smells and there's a ridiculous number of homeless & crazy people on every corner. Once again, he didn't really pass any judgement he just described what he saw. 

 

Not sure what he got fired for. Did he come off a bit tw*t-ish? Yes. Was it offensive? No.

Also bodegas are one of the best things about NYC 

[Red Velvet]

From those videos he should not have been fired 

 

 

People did not like that viral tiktok so went on a witch hunt and stretched any accusation they could find. 

 

This will harm actually serious offenses. 

[Michael196]

Can someone point me to the ‘hot’ individual in question?? Because all I’m seeing is a rectangle faced rat living his life 

[wehavetostan]

Him talking about chasing the bag when he’s moving to nyc on a $48k salary (now $0)

This is not a twink

[EnoughSaid]

He is not hot, but he is not totally offensive. He’s just a dude bro douche canoe. And ignorant about food deserts 

[Mr. Blue_Shirt]

Why is he acting like he never go outside from his basement in his entire life like 

 

"There so many gay people down here" or... maybe you just walking at the pride parade in the town? He's such a weirdo i can't nnn
