Have you ever been subjected to Racial/ Cultural Abuse/ Discrimination?

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

To somebody tuned into American accents you might think a Scottish one sounds great till you get to meet them and you realise they're a bunch of oat-eating savages. Sorry Scottish people, but you are.

I like the New York accent on women, who all seemed to be really self-conscious about it until I told them I really liked it.

.....may God help you....yankee women (especially New York and New Jersey) and their horrid grating nagging voices. It's like nails on a fucking chalkboard.

I thought Fran Dresher's accent was pretty hot when I was a teenager.

When I was a waiter at Pizza Hut I had a Scottish family at one of my tables. They wanted some of the most disgusting crap I ever heard of on a pizza, but that's another story. But the father, a late fiftyish guy, called me over by saying 'boy'. I let it go because I figured he probably had no conception of it being a deragatory term used for black men and it wasn't like I could have done anything, anyway. But even still, without knowing that, it's a pretty crappy thing to call a grown man 'boy'.

I hear you... Regardless that's still unacceptable. I'm white but would still take a deal of offense even without the racial conotation. Fact is, we live in a civilized society where that's frowned apon... If I was called, "boy" that would definitly not have my jumping back to their table anytime soon. When addressing a person you don't know... Service being rendered or not... people should still be addressed with a certain level of respect. "Excuse me" or "When you get a second..." would sirfice. Regardless of where you're from, you're still part of the "western world" and should act accordingly. Anything otherwise shows a gross amount of ignorance. You don't need to be "cultured" to be polite. Period.
