A car dealership fired an employee who wrote a 'racist' Facebook post calling a first time buyer 'Bon Quisha'
----
An employee was fired from a North Carolina car dealership after referring to a Black woman as "Bon Quisha" instead of her name in a now-deleted Facebook post.
Trinity Bethune, a 21-year-old personal care assistant, bought her first car on her own from Lumberton Honda earlier this week, WTVD-TV reported. However, her happiness about the purchase was short-lived when she saw a post on the dealership's Facebook page on Thursday.
The post accompanied with a photo of Bethune read: "Congratulations to Bon Quisha on her 2016 Toyota Camry," according to screenshots of the post.
In response, Bethune commented on the post, saying she was "offended."
"If I'm not addressed by MY name, then please don't address me at all," Bethune said.
