RACIST PLACE: STAY AWAY!!!!

As a global society, we have made strides towards creating a more inclusive and respectful world. It is disheartening when an establishment such as "Casa do Preto" blatantly disregards the importance of this progress, opting instead to employ an offensive term for its moniker, a term that is likely to offend many, but especially those of African descent and Black Portuguese.

Upon first seeing the name, I found it shocking that any business, especially in this day and age, would choose a name so steeply immersed in racial insensitivity. Given that names are the first impression one gets of an establishment, this is not only in poor taste but reflects a lack of understanding and respect for diverse cultures.

In visiting the restaurant, I hoped to find that the owners had somehow rectified this unfortunate choice of name by creating an atmosphere that fosters understanding and embraces diversity. However, to my disappointment, this was not the case. Instead, the restaurant, in its ambience and decor, continued to reflect the ignorance indicated by its name.

It's crucial to stress that food, an essential part of culture, has the potential to unify and educate. It is, therefore, a missed opportunity when an eatery opts to alienate certain patrons rather than inviting them into a space of shared enjoyment and mutual respect.

To any potential patrons reading this, I strongly urge you to consider the impact of supporting a business that so clearly lacks the basic understanding of respect and inclusivity in its operations. It's not just about food, it's about principle. In this era, we should be promoting businesses that reflect the inclusivity and acceptance we aspire to see in the world.

In conclusion, "Casa do Preto" leaves a bitter taste, not from its cuisine, but from its palpable disregard for racial sensitivity. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this establishment to anyone. It is my hope that the owners reconsider their branding and take a hard look at the impact it has on potential customers and the wider community.

Until then, there are countless other establishments that celebrate diversity and inclusivity with not only their names but also their service, food, and overall ambiance. Seek them out. They deserve our patronage.
