Sandi, I know what you mean..the last time that I lived in CA (many years back) I worked at a semiconductor company and there was a problem one night that I had to report. I was furious as the blond guy tried to take my report and finally said he couldn't understand me! I am NOT a predjudice person, but all I could do was look around at all the asian people that had relocated to our country, shake my head and walk away! OUCH!
