Pressing 1 for English is serious business.

I'm at work, and I just got another jackass who was "offended" that they had to press the number 1 to continue through our phone system in English.

God forbid we have a Spanish option in the Southwest corner of the United States.

Anyone else regularly have people "offended" by menial shit like this at work?

ROFL. You should have started speaking incoherently pretending to only speak spanish. Que? Que? No hablo ingles amigo!

It's just so damn irritating, and I can't put these assholes in their place because it'd end up with me fired.

It rather depresses me that the country is simply THAT full of racist bigots.

I like when people call the business and ask if it is still open (not store hours, but actually functioning). You would think that they would know when someone picks up the phone, but yah know. Old people are stupid. Our generation of old people are going to be smart and not stubborn. Except for K_A, of course. XD

Except for K_A, of course. XD

If you want to go bitch about him, make another thread instead of fucking up mine. I'm actually rather tired of seeing this shit in every thread.

You don't like him, we get it. Was that really necessary?

Yes. The matter at hand is shortsighted bigot hicks whose heads reside firmly in their colons.

Way to not contribute to your own thread by bitching at me. If you want to argue this point, please PM HoH or flame HoH in the flame forum.

I, for one, have to deal with many hispanics, so around here it is very common.

Why wouldn't people be offended that illegal residents invade our country and take our jobs, then not only does the government suggest we just let them stay, but companys start catering to them too? Really, most of them try to start learning English as soon as they get here, so the ones who can't are fresh-off-the-truck.

That's not the issue. All's fair in love and war, some competition never hurt anyone. It's when, like WW said, our government starts to cater towards them. They shouldn't even be here in the first place, why are we trying to make their stay more comfortable?

Because they are just as much human as we. They are just trying to escape desperate conditions as our great-grandparents were.

Could be worse. Look at Canada. They got stuck with French as their other language.

Because they are just as much human as we. They are just trying to escape desperate conditions as our great-grandparents were.

Well said.

I agree wholeheartedly with Grav in that sentiment. Except about the great-grandparents part. My (x)great-grandparents were brought here to be slaves. At least I assume as much.

I had a black woman get really pissed at me because I asked to see her ID. Her card wasn't signed.

Too bad I do that to anyone without a signature on their card. Stupid whore.
