Lumberton Honda fired an employee after calling a Black customer “Bon Quisha” in a Facebook post. Trinity Bethune was excited to celebrate the purchase of her car before the employee who sold her the car made a stereotypical post.  

Her brother, Tyrone Jacob, shared the post and reacted.  

“This is not how I planned to congratulate my little sister on her first car purchase. This is completely intentional, disgusting, unfair, and many other adjectives I could use to describe this situation. Rather than responding like a ‘Bon Quisha,’ I’m responding like a Karen. This was not a mistake. With the exception of the letter ‘N,’ her name is spelled using the first row of the keyboard.” 

Bethune responded to the racist post shortly after Jacob shared it.  

“I’m not sure if this is a ‘joke’ or something, but my name is definitely Trinity Bethune,” Bethune said. “I’m very offended by this post. It’s almost a racial slur. If I’m not addressed by MY name, then please don’t address me at all.” 

ABC reported that the employee has been fired. The former employee reached out to Bethune to apologize; however, it was too late.  

“The action of this former employee does not represent the views or culture of our company.” The company said in a statement.
