A usual /r/AITA post about cake decorations takes an unexpected turn as one user takes issue with OP describing that they could outsource cake making to "a really great Filipino baker I know that could do it cheap." Our user in question seems to not like the fact that race is brought up, and calls into question that this might imply that OP is calling Filipino bakeries cheap? Multiple comments threads emerge out the semantics of the word and if Filipino is a descriptor in the scenario or not. Enjoy some highlights.

Comment in question 

"I actually though about outsourcing to a really great Filipino baker I know that could do it cheap."

Why do you feel the need to point out the cheaper baker is Filipino? Why not just say "really great baker i know?" That's the oddest part of your whole story. (Side note: I'm not Filipino.)

Other users begin to question why this is such a big deal

Filipinos make beautiful and delicious ube cakes that I've never seen anyone else make (I might be wrong, I don't know every country's bakery). What's wrong with mentioning a specific type of bakery?

OP gave the "shout out" for being cheaper, implying that Filipino bakers are cheaper/inferior (compared to OP's more expensive prices). The cake had nothing to do with being a Filipino-style item so no reason to highlight in the story that the cheaper baker is Filipino. Just say "great baker" and end it there.

Some accuse the user in question of whiteknighting

We have a white knight here. Get ready ethic bakeries you will now just be a “bakery”. Clearly you don’t live in a major metropolitan area or at least a diverse one. There’s a ton of awesome ethnic markets and bakeries that cater to the diaspora and anyone who appreciates their food.

You're taking what I'm saying too far. I agree that labels are necessary and informative...when used correctly. There was no reason for OP to highlight that the cheaper baker is Filipino. OP wasn't looking for a Filipino-style item, she wanted a CHEAP item. Just say "cheap baker" instead of "cheap Filipino baker." Such an unnecessarily negative detail with no context to the story. As a lover of food, I very much appreciate the wide and varied Asian & Mediterranean offerings available to me. I would like to experience European cuisines as that's not something easily gotten here, but that's a dream for another day.

Another good tidbit of insult slinging

You obviously don't know the pride Filipinos have in being Filipino. And that a good portion of them LIKE to be called Filipino. You're just picking for no reason. Get off that high horse.

OP was not looking for a Filipino-style item, she wanted a CHEAP item. By highlighting that the cheap baker is "Filipino" OP was subtly implying that Filipino baker is "less than" her own higher-priced product. Regardless of your ethnicity, no one likes a backwards compliment.

You should be a detective, you have some serious Sherlock skills pulling these clues from thin air.

Thanks. It's gained from age and experience with people. Language matters.
