The point of the joke is the rich man is racist and/or misogynistic.
-
It’s just a picture of a woman?
-
Probably something horny and vaguely racist.
- It's pretty obviously a casting-couch-type picture.
Yep. Last time I heard this joke, it was about a Jewish owner and an antisemite buying the drinks. And I think you're spot on with #3.

Race is relevant because it's the point of the joke (he's racist, but his racism is foiled). Gender isn't relevant. The picture is what makes this dude a lunatic. If I saw this shit and I worked with him I'd forward it to HR with the note "hey just file this one away, you don't need to act on it right now but you're definitely gonna want this receipt sooner or later".
What in the joke makes him racist but not misogynistic?
There’s nothing in the joke saying she’s either the only black person or the only woman in the bar. In fact you could say that there’s more pointing to him being misogynistic in that he says “this woman” and not “this black person”.
To me it reads as both

I refuse to believe that you don't already know the answers to 1 and 2 and that you don't have an inkling about 3
this is supposed to be one of those "take that, racist prick" stories. these are pretty common
- Restaurant/bar owner black ladies called Albert Einstein. Its the first result on google image search.

How is gender and race at all relevant for this joke?
The story itself isn't a joke. The linkedin salesman guy wrote a stupid story about an unrealistically obnoxious rich guy who trips over his own racism.
How is that picture appropriate for a professional networking site?
Maybe he's targeting people who look like that. The [guy who is rude to my target demographic] is quietly pwned by [my target demographic] (Now they will buy my product).
Also, what did the dude google to find that picture?
Ask him? His name is on the image.
The story is a joke. Literally. The version I herd decades ago was a guy keeps buying for everybody but the Jew at a table who ends up owning the bar.
3, beautiful woman on leather chair glows like an angel
Duh
Who gives a shit about any of that since this was literally stolen from the opening scene of crazy rich Asians.
This is a variation on an old joke. The way I heard it originally, it was a Jew that owned the bar and the bigoted customer was an antisemite.
Isn't it supposed to be like those riddles where the answer is that the doctor's a woman?
- Gotchas are better if the guy who got got is bad.
- It's not.

When you want to write an interracial, humiliation-kink erotica but you only know how to post on LinkedIn.
i like how the bar turned into a restaurant
He was in the bar for a looong time.
If you're that rich, they will just let you turn a bar into a restaurant
In the UK you can buy food there
You can buy food in the UK now? They've came along way
Aye but we consider it a luxury
just because they call it food ; doesn't mean that it is food.

A bar is technically a restaurant I think. At least I feel the terminology can be vaguely applied.
Where I live any establishment that serves alcohol to be consumed on premises must also serve some sort of food option to go with it. So by that token, all bars are restaurants here.
Yeah up until a couple years ago my state had a requirement that any business that made more than 70% of its income from sales of alcohol were required to be private clubs with memberships. Which is why so many bars and pool halls had a dusty clipboard with "guest sign-in sheets" near the door that everyone ignored. Like many things, this didn't survive the pandemic.
We have (had?) separate registrations for bars vs restaurants, and there are (were?) limits on how much revenue from each source a bar vs restaurant could have (bars must primarily derive income from alcohol, restaurants from food). I haven't seen the little signs they used to have to place out front that signified whether the establishment was a bar or a restaurant, so I'm not sure if they changed the rules generally or just that one.

Albert Einstein
Thank you.
Hey guys, I found the restaurant owner
She's the owner of the restaurant, duh.
Thank you

People claimed that she didn’t have much of an internet presence beyond her instagram and an unused TikTok account.
anok yai, maybe
I should design a userscript that completely removes the "social" feed of LinkedIn. Then I might actually use it, without being bombarded by the weirdest narcissistic attention seeking behavior I've ever seen.
Good on ya. I think I would rather literally be hunted by dogs than engage with LinkedIn as a serious platform.
I just don’t scroll through the feed at all. I spend around 5 minutes on linkedin in a week just to check connection requests and that’s all my usage.
For now anyway you can use ublock to blow away:
- the promoted inane shit
- this fucker liked this inane thing
- et al
Use the picker to select the element for the promoted and step up until you find ="promoted" in the selector. This works for the other bullshit they try and shove down your throat and your feed will be 98% less shitty.

Wow, I did NOT expect that story after seeing the picture. Doesn’t seem related.
Was the man's name JD Vance?
Also, are we supposed to believe that someone is not buying the lady pictured here a drink??
Well shes just kinda crouching in the corner quietly judgeing everyone with an un happy look. Then says thank you whenever someone buys something. I wouldve stayed clear of her too.
