His high tech knowledge was probably paid for with a grant from my hard earned (working on 30% because I work too damn much) tax dollars, he should be ashamed of himself. Not one of the 7 students here that I pay tutuion for go to school on a nickel of government (or church) $ in this house! Why? Because I am crazy enough to think I can make a difference by using my degree for good and not evil! Report the SOB and make him pay it(me) back.

He is currently working with an senior scientist, originally from China but raised in LA. Dr. LA, after mispronouncing Dr. Pakistan's name several times, said something about being careful around Dr. Pakistan because he might be a terrorist. <BR/>I was so shocked I was literally speechless. <BR/>And then, when others corrected him and pointed out how inappropriate that comment was, Dr. LA kept saying, "Well he could be, he could be."<BR/>And people wonder why certain other cultures hate Americans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189862499700338748.post-3633442632148010102007-10-09T09:31:00.000-04:002007-10-09T09:31:00.000-04:00I always worry so about what people are thinking o...I always worry so about what people are thinking of me and if I am being friendly and courteous and kind, that I am ignorant and often do not listen to names. In school if I had to ask a student their name I would repeat it several times in conversation with the student and I never forgot.
