[Dana]

wow people are so quick to yell racism over stupid little shit. I didn't don't have a problem with asian people I've had asian friends and had an asian girlfriend.

 

[Goat Whisperer]

Aw yes it is true many people do say everyone is prejudice and we are... all of us are.... no big deal it's in our nature.

 

[Dana]

PT, have you ever laughed at a racist/racial stereotypical joke?

PT, have you ever laughed at a racist/racial stereotypical joke?

Of course... yet that has nothing to do with this situation... completely different.

What do you think of when I say blonde?


















Dumb right? That is prejudicial but, we all no it isn't a big deal cuz everyone does it, our brain just autmatticly assumes things, it is in our nature

Ah well, I'm sorry i brought this topic up.

You don't need to be sorry Dana - we each have very different tolerences with those speaking different languages. At least you weren't rude to them.

I am ok when it happens, but as was mentioned, if it happens to friends out with eachother, then it is a bit rude, but otherwise I don't mind.

You're entitled to an opinion.

Am I the only one that gets irritated/paranoid that a person can speak pretty good English but they hafta fucking revert to there native tongue when talking to their friends. And yes both knew English.

uh... no, I'm not irritated by people speaking in their native tongue to someone else.

You let petty things get to you sometimes, man.

or hes getting his sons english up to scratch

Actually they both spoke English very well. Hell probably better then I do, and I have been doing it for over 32 years.

lazy to speak it? lol wow you shouldnt be calling anyone ignorant.

How about wanting to communicate with his son on a more personal basis? some people like myself talk to their kids in spanish as well as english because, lets face it being bilingual is a damn good quality to have, and even better to have it instilled in your kids as early as possible.

Well from my experience with the 2 guys he did seem too lazy to speak it. Your right who am I to call someone ignorant.

So I stand by lazy, but I will apologise for calling the man ignorant.

Ah well, I'm sorry i brought this topic up.

Don't be sorry man. It's better that this stuff is discussed, rather than just thought about in shame or whatever.

As hard as it is for me to understand, you DO get pissed off about this and therefore there is a reason for it... and I have heard many, many people say the same thing - so it is something that needs to be discussed.
