That’s not a lawsuit. This is a lawsuit.

The Belle Meade Country Club (near Nashville) is being sued by a former chef for discrimination.

The twist? He claims he was discriminated against because he’s…Australian.

The chef, Richard Jones, alleges that his boss, an executive sous chef, made numerous comments about Australia being undeveloped and backwards, and about its people being “unrefined,” according to Greenberg.

It is incomprehensible to me how anyone could discriminate against Australians. The couple of Australians I’ve met have been among the nicest people in the world. It would be like kicking a puppy.

Anyway, if this is true, I hope Mr. Jones gets all that he is seeking in damages, and uses the money to open a nice restaurant (barbecued shrimp optional).
