Ex-Marine turned hotel manager orders Hispanic staff to Anglicize their names

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

I hate being asked how my name is pronounced. So for my own sanity I've cut it down to traditional-Amurkin-person size. Two letters.

Actually, it annoys me even more they insist on saying my name... and get this bright gleam in their eyes like they're doing something oh so exotic. Did I get it right? Puppy dog look in their faces, I can't say no. You got it! Wow!

Didn't that also happen in Office Space?

How come no one in this country can pronounce my name right? It's Na-gee-een-ah-jah. Nagaenajar

It's the one common thread that binds us all 3-syllable or greater people together.

I like how the most highlighted item is that he's an "ex-marine"

So all marines are like that eh?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Are you saying that?

Cause the article isn't.

Quoting a Russian immigrant "Why, if I can pronounce Christopher, Aubrey, Christa; they cannot take 2 minutes to pronounce Stanislava, and the teacher told me I would be Stacey".

Because it takes 2 minutes to pronounce her name?

They thought White-bread honky Ex Marine was racist. So they settled on former marine.

Not the most highlighted, but it is a pointless fact. Whether he is or isn't has no bearing on stance.

LOL A friend of mine is an ex-marine and he married a girl from Hawaii... her name is very hard to pronounce but he can do it. It was in his best interest.

When profiling someone in that manner - it is meant to leave that impression. Just like the article a few years ago where the woman backed over her daughter. The headline was "SUV Backs over Child". Brainwashing is very subtle. If enough Marines kill enough people, or discriminate against people, we can eventually label them all as racist psychopaths.

It's rather unlikely Joe - but if you're looking for evidence of brainwashing I'd suggest re-reading some of your posts - you know, the ones about "libruls"

I just think its funny to see the brainwashed posting about the dangers of brainwashing.
