Ordering cheesesteaks in English, cont'd

Updating our Jun. 12, 2006 entry: "The Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations notified Geno's owner Joey Vento this week that it had found probable cause that his sign urging patrons to order in English is discriminatory. The next step is to schedule a hearing to settle the dispute or to escalate the charges against the owner of the South Philadelphia sandwich stand." Vento, who has enlisted on his behalf the Southeastern Legal Foundation, the conservative public-interest law outfit, says he has never actually declined anyone's order because it was not made in English, but the commission contends the sign could nonetheless make non-English-speakers feel unwelcome or discriminated against.
