British family 'demanded white staff at Florida hotel' | World news | The Guardian
Couple from England request not to be served by people of color or people with foreign accents during hotel stay. The way some people here talk, you'd think only white southern people are racist. The hotel chain has instituted a ban on the couple staying at their hotels.

You are so full of it. I have never seen a suggestion that only southern white people can be racist, and neither have you.

It is their right to demand that? Last time, I checked the CONservatives say is a business owners RIGHT to hire who they want and you go to who you please with your money.

The family should have packed up and left. Or are you all flip flopping AGAIN?

Who is you all? Is there a crowd behind me or something? I do not follow any particular view of things I have my own. Yes it is their right to demand it. They got denied so whatever. I will just boycott that hotel chain. I would not want someone who was going to steal my things and not speak English handling my things either.

Yes, there is a crowd behind you. It is called the Tea BAGGING party.

I am against hiring people who do not speak English either. I would never hire them. But it is someone else's company and they have EVERY RIGHT TOO regardless of if you like it not.

Have fun boycotting. I am soooo sure your little boycott will make them hurt.

Uh no. If you had read some of my previous posts I do not in any way affiliate my selves with neo cons. That is what the tea party folks are. They may have started out as a well intentioned group but the main stream republicans have high jacked that group and are using it to their own advantage.
