Ignorance....Such an ugly part of life.
I was at work today and apparently pissed off a customer. At which point he took it upon himself to yell racial epithets at me. Telling me how dirty "WE" spanish are. ( He didn't quite say spanish but you get where I'm headed ) I simply stood there until I had enough. Telling him that there is a difference between latinos and natives. Saying "Latinos generally have courser hair, wider nasal openings, less prominent cheek bones, and there eye socket placement is not the same. But I'm sure a well educated man such as you already knew that." He then left yelling at me some more.
"Indian Giver"
"I have never given you anything. If you come to me and say Joesph I like your horses I would like to buy them. I tell you no. My horses suite me fine. You then go to my neighbor and say "I like Joesph's horses I would like to buy them." At which point he say's "Give me money, I will sell you Joesph's horses." If you have ever gotten anything from my people this is how you have gotten it.- Chief Joesph talking to General O. O. Howard.
