ignorant white colleagues

[SunWuKong]

some of my white colleagues really remind me sometimes why all my friends in this area are Asian - not that they can't discriminate either, but it happens much less often.

one of my white colleagues was talking on the phone with an Indian guy about a job and apparently, the Indian guy had a really thick accent and my colleague can barely understand him. so he gets off the phone and starts complaining about the guy's accent. and at first i didn't think anything of it, because quite frankly, it's happened to me, too. i've talked to people with very thick accents and i can barely understand them. but then he said something like "it's like talking to Abu from the Quickie Mart."

i was thinking - what the fuck? so i said, "why? are you interviewing for the Quickie Mart?"

:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

then he was trying to explain the Indian association with the Quickie Mart, thinking that i didn't understand what he said. i guess he thought i didn't get it, but really, it's him that didn't get it. what a dumbass.

He probably thought he was being funny and that his humor for some reason doesn't work on Asians... :P

it's like talking to Hank Azaria? eh. well maybe it's not the best thing that Hank Azaria does a voice like that to begin with. *shrug*

to get away with dumbass comments like that, you better be able to play as well as shaq.

I don't have problems understanding Apu. He's usually very understandable.

white people are so sneaky. they be doing all these subtle racism shit. when you guys walk in public, try to notice whites/blacks/hispanics, and see if they spit. most people don't spit for no reason. I've seen alot of white dudes in business suits spitting like crazy.
