I posted something about me having trouble with an Arabian owner of a gas station and was given a warning and my post was locked up. I just want to post a follow up. I was recently hired to survey 30 different gas stations in Northern California. I had no problem with 27 of those, however, on the other 3 I was not allowed on the property to do my job. Coincidently all three of those were owned by gentlemen from the middle east. The other 27 were not owned by gentlemen from the Middle East.
Here's were there seems to be a misunderstanding. I never said that anyone was inferior to anyone else, I was talking about their philosophy. Is it racist to say that someone raised in the middle east has a different philosophy than someone raised in Japan?
Is it a coincidence that these three were the only ones I had a problem with? Everyone needs to quit being so damn sensitive, philosophy differs throughout the world. If I had said that the Japanese owners were very accomodating and seemed really interested in our equipment and techniques, and that the American owners had a "whatever" attitude would anyone have been upset? Human is human, no one race is superior to another. Cultures on the other hand are different and if you can't see that, then maybe you actually are inferior.
