Not true. I'm just as comfortable flying with whites, blacks, and asians. It's the people with towels on their heads that frighten me.

Outsourcing is retarded... especially McDonalds using it for drive throughs..

it's the people with towels and giant book bags they don't want inspected that bother me

Curious... care to disclose which Airline it was?

What really pisses me off is using people with thick accents for services in English Try telling them your fucking address and it makes you want to rip their throat out through the reciever.

I crack up everytime I have to call Dell for support, I get a habib with a really strong accent telling me his name is david. I'm like ya whatever.

Now I know outsourcing is a debatable issue, but regardless of anybody's stance on the topic I would still think that it would be suicide for an AIRLINE company-

NO. Sadly it's suicide NOT to outsource. Bangalore, India among other countries. Oustourcing will continue long after you and I are dead.

I've never heard anyone I know say that. And....let me take a guess....you....are not white.

I'm Commanche Indian.

whenever jobs are outsourced they make the foreigners who get the jobs go through classes to get rid of their accents (which US Airways had obviously NOT done very well) and also give them all Americanized names. There is no way our dude's name was "Steve."

They couldn't understand what tit was saying for shit. She had to give the our flight code to the person on the phone and NONE of them could follow her. She had to do the "C as in Cat, D as in Dog, E as in Elephant" for the whole freaking time, and even that technique barely worked. I understand you might need this for the difference between M and N, but X???

I'm totally white. by saying that most Americans are afraid of anyone that's not white was really just a candycoated way to describe Arab/Hindu/ pretty much any ethnic group that owns a 7-11. I was not referring to blacks, asians, hispanics, etc. But my previous statement did not insult anyone but Americans; now I've offended everyone.

I personally am not afraid of anyone, but there's lots of white people out there scared shitless of other races, especially on planes. It's like the Chappelle show skit where all the different ethnicities were afraid of the others on the plane. The black guy was scared of the hindu, the white guys were afraid of the black guys, the indians were scared of the white guys, the buffalo were afraid of the indians, etc.

i never thought myself a racist, but I admit when I got on a plane last week to New Orleans ( & coming home), I scanned the crowd boarding for arab men.
