New Brunswick “N-word” utterance

Ronald Delice, a soldier and part time taxi driver, says he was ‘shocked’ and ‘disgusted’ by hearing the “N-word” at a Paul Street Burger King drive-thru in Dieppe in late May.

Delice is black.

A song by rapper 50 Cent was playing on the radio in the cab and the passengers asked the man at the window if he liked the music.

The Burger King worker replied:  “No, I don’t like (plural version of the “N-word.)”

That worker was fired, but Delice wants an official apology, and he plans to file a human rights complaint.
