Re: Am I Racist?
Sent as a joke I think.
A US Navy cruiser is anchored in Mississippi for a week's shore leave.
The first evening, the ship's Captain received the following note from
the wife of a wealthy plantation owner:
"Dear Captain, Thursday will be my daughter Melinda's Debutante Ball.
I would like you to send four well mannered, handsome, unmarried
officers in their formal dress uniforms to attend the dance. They
should arrive promptly at 8:00 PM prepared for an evening of polite
Southern conversation. They should be excellent dancers, as they will
be the escorts of lovely refined young ladies. And one last point:
No Jews Please."
At precisely 8:00 PM on Thursday, Melinda's mother heard a polite rap
at the door which she opened to find, in full dress uniform, four
handsome, smiling black officers.
Her mouth fell open, but pulling herself together, she stammered,
"There must be some mistake."
"No, Madam," said the first officer. "Captain Goldberg never makes
mistakes."

Poppy ! Is this a racist comment? Or is it a fact?
I also find it strange that a person calls somebody a racist, then only makes 3 comments in the thread. Is s/he (see profile) just trying to stir things up?

Re: Am I Racist?
I don't know if Madhatters post is racist but the employers sound like they may be Polist if they are specifically paying Polish workers less than the minimum wage. How are they getting away with it?
Any hope of Poppy apologising yet for misrepesenting me? To be falsely accused like that is verging on slander (or is it libel?) I'm 'libel' to get confused with those two the more I think about it.
