My dad always reacts and outright accuses them of being racist. That usually shocks them into better behaviour. But looks like even that wouldn't have helped! How blase of that woman to say "I don't think so"! Even if it was just poor service and nothing more, I think you should send a letter to the local newspaper wondering aloud along these lines. If nothing else, it will improve their efficiency levels! :)Thinking Crampshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956076662080144333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15103525.post-26996146550027921382007-04-06T19:54:00.000+01:002007-04-06T19:54:00.000+01:00Sounds horrible.

I know I am the first one to crib about the race card but this time, I kept zipped till the others shouted before I joined in. I heard the friend complained to the management and we have a free table for four lined up. Let's hope we don't get armpit burger! <BR/><BR/>Re feminism, I have no clue what being a feminist in India is about.

In India, when this happens, certainly there is no question of discrimination against me. <BR/><BR/>So I dont know - was there something specific which made you feel it was cos of color ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15103525.post-64325257819864836132007-04-05T10:33:00.000+01:002007-04-05T10:33:00.000+01:00hey thanks for inviting me.. i am honoured. would ...hey thanks for inviting me.. i am honoured. would love to do it.
