Yep. Asshole. I also think it is hilarious that s/he complains of the Circuit City employee’s grammar, what with all the grammar and spelling mistakes in his/her posts. ---

[QUOTE=Guinastasia] The best response would have been to get some white teenage boy who kept saying “Dude” all the time. Basically talking in the manner I described above. 😉 Or some valley girl type who kept snapping her gum and kept saying, “Oh my GOD!” [/QUOTE] No, no, the best possible scenario is that the white dude that saunters over is one who’s listened to enough rap that he speaks in worse english than anyone else. “Yo yo yo, whassup homie? Yo mouse don’t be workin? That’s fuckin wack.” ---

So, the pigmentation in the skin of 2 clerks was the cause of the store’s somewhat fluid return policy. Ah, got it. Makes perfect sense. Thanks. ---

[QUOTE=tdn] I suspect that if he’s not a troll, he’s just a very naive and sheltered individual who’s never before met a non-white. [/QUOTE] So’m I, but I still know better than **copper** does, apparently. And I know I shouldn’t bother posting this, but fuck it all. Even people who do know proper grammar don’t always use it. I sure as hell don’t–not because I don’t know my grammar, but because I’m used to hearing people speak in less than perfect English (or French, or something in-between). I would tell **copper** to shove his mouse up his ass, but I’m afraid he might swallow it. ---

[QUOTE=copperwindow] I could probably have understood him if he were speaking in French, but I understand proper English a bit easier. [/QUOTE] You certainly don’t write “proper English” very well. Let’s just take a look at one example from your OP: > [@](#): > > I was explained this to “Robert”, a black employee. By the way, you were being an asshole because you were being racist. Racists are assholes. And they’re stupid. ---
