He was saying this at a volume clearly meant for us to hear. It didn't bother me too much -- heck, I grew up in Calgary during the 70's and had heard much worse. But I could tell my girlfriend was livid. The guy was smoking, and this was during the time when no smoking signs were put up in places like Dairy Queen but nobody really enforced them. So I told his daughters that they should avoid being like their father and that he was disgusting by being addicted to smoking. The white guy pointed at me and told me not to talk to his daughters. And nothing more deevloped after that. I think he realized I was willing to confront him and he didn't want to push things any further.

That's disgusting. On a positive note, though, this guy surely got his ass kicked sooner or later (probably sooner) for speaking like that.
