Funny.. I said the same thing when Trump supporters announced boycott of Amazon. Heck, I did the opposite and handed out 1 year prime memberships as gifts this year.

Yup.. cry me a river...

Agreed, I like Bourdain and because he is boycotting them, I probably will too. LOL

If he drank beer and moonshine, wrestled and shot elk, I would maybe agree with you.

Bourdain just seems like a regular guy to me who like to travel and eat. I have no idea where you go the "NY beta male" unless you are from the South which includes Texas in my opinion (same culture) You guys view any male with any sophistication as being "girly"
What is MMA? & Nascar is 800 miles east of here. I don't drink beer or hunt (but have friends who hunt). Not sure how any of this makes one Alpha?

Bourdain struck me as "trendy" & non athletic...probably a drama dude. (aka beta) but also pompous. & he's certainly NOT like any "regular guy" New Yorker that I've known.

& Is bordain perceived as being sophisticated??

(Btw...Texas west of I 35 is more SW than South.)

He's won at least one open tournament and seriously trains in Brazilian ju jitsu, he'd probably be happy to demonstrate if called a 'drama dude'.

Where in there did I say anything about what is or is not tolerable? I was just describing how I saw Bourdain. He IS a non-PC kind of guy and makes no excuses about it.

BTW, I do watch his show and at times find his take on things and the places he goes interesting and informative and sometimes, well, insulting. I may not always agree with his political views that he shares when visiting various places but hell, I don't agree with anyone 100% the time...

Well, I will continue to support Anthony Bourdain. I personally despise that President-elect Trump will be the new President in a few weeks. I'm stuck with him for the next 4 years, so I'm call him President Trump. However, I actually am cool with Anthony Bourdain being against President-elect Trump.

Uh sorry, just one of those misunderstandings more common in written dialog than spoken. Never meant you in particular, just quoted your post because it "down and dirty non-PC" was a convenient jumping off spot which is why I used "alleged non-PC fans" My point wasn't that you identified him as non-PC but that so many who claim to admire non-PC really don't, as evidenced in this thread.

I don't always agree with him either but I enjoy how he'll partner up with reporters, writers, cinematographers, musicians. etc. who offer some unique views of life in different places that would otherwise likely not get much exposure.

People make their own decisions over where to eat. Most of Trump's restaurants cater to wealthy elites who can afford the outrageous prices.
