this really frost my flakes
Gang:
Ol’ Patriotman is angry, very angry. I’ll try not to sat what is in my heart as I am sure the Admins would ban me, but I am very steamed.
I work for one of largest firms in the world. The thing I have noticed is the larger the firm the more PC and effeminate it becomes and the less patriotic (now if you want a patriotic company buy Oreck vacuums, Dave Oreck is a saint)
However what happened today really frosts my flakes. Recently I went to the third world, uh I mean Mexico as part of a scoping effort to modernize technological systems. Today it was revealed that we are starting a new division for Latin America. No not a division to cover Latin America but starting a division “for Latin America�. You see it seems the Mexicans are insisting that among other things that they only deal with Hipanics. The do not want people who are not Hispanic. Everyone must speak Spanish and be of Hispanic ancestry, i.e no gringos need apply. More to the point the division must be located in Mexcio and utilize only Hispanic resources.
Here is a list of their complaints:
Americans did not respect the traditions the Mexican people.
Americans worked on Sunday, Sunday is a day for family.
Americans spoke only Spanish and not the language of the common people of Mexico, this is an insulting to those outside of Mexico city.
Americans did not salute the Mexican flag.
Basically they are forcing a major U.S. company to adapt to their culture. Which is fine, but at the same time they expect the United States to adapt to their culture also.
I think I am simply angry because the Mexicans get it both ways. The get their culture respected in their own country and they force us to adapt to their culture in our own country. I am angry not with the Mexicans, because they are simply being patrons of their own country, but I am angry because we have no national pride and do nothing to preserve our own culture and traditions.
I wonder how long any company would last in the U.S. if it insisted all contractors where White and only spoke the Kings English?
Fumed...(mostly at out own country)
