racism at work?

here in Trivandrum the behaviour of star hotel doormen sucks. If a trivandrumite walks in wearing shabby clothes they wont let you in. But if some white tourist walks in wearin bermudas and no shirt with his semi-nude wife, they'll do a triple salute and let them in. its funny sometimes... after 54 years of independence in the hearts of some indians the westerner-dominance and fear/awe still exists so sad specially considering when its time we started treating oursleves as earth-citizens instead of as americans , aussies, indians, brits Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org If you don't find me on CP, I'll be at Bob's HungOut

Man that REALLY blows. The next time a security guard treats you like that, show them your ID, and tell them that you understand how hard it must be living on $3 an hour, you had to do the same while you were getting your degree. OR say 'I don't carry it because I know you guys can't read anyhow'. OR flash a library card and then act surprised that he's smart enough to know the difference. OR say 'Being a highly paid programmer, I have one, but being Spanish I also deal in drugs and therefore own a gun. Why should I show you my ID when I have an Uzi under this jacket ?' OR how about 'I'm reporting you for harrassement, you racist swine' OR learn a martial art and kick their butts.

Thanks all of you for your support. The HR people told me that they "will look into this", and the compliance officer said that "things like this should not ever happen. We are all the same, and we should all be treated the same". I was surprised that the compliance officer acted a lot quiker than HR did. I guess he doesn't have too much work to do. it looks like they are going to talk to the security company's representatives to see what can be done to not allow things like these to happen again.

You might even end up with a good friend out of the deal. You're a *real* "All You Need Is Love" kinda guy, aren't you John!! ----------------------------- "I leave no turn un-stoned." - John Simmons, Nov 6 2001 -----------------------------
Hmmm... I never thought about it that way. :) But I guess you could say so. (Although you would certainly be distorting the popular understanding of that phrase.) ;P John
