Avoiding Linguistic Discrimination

***Something happened to my video and now the audio is at least several seconds out of synch with the video. As soon as I can figure out how to re-upload without destroying all the stats I've collected on this video I will.***

A video with examples of the ways that people commonly discriminate based on language or accent.

this is so fucking weak dude..was good for a laugh, but way way too PC. We are all free to be assholes.

[cellflow]

Sounds like you're completely missing the point.

I'm guessing for the high-five you held up the cat's paw and it pulled it back, and then you played the whole thing in reverse? ^^

[cellflow]

Wow that's creative. Nope, I had my girlfriend hold up his paw and drop it in my hand.

Well, if someone speaks in a way that the majority can't understand, it actually is incorrect for the situation. It might not be right to look down on them, but still we should be able to agree on that, I think.

@Australiano75

No All Angloxasons... Americans and Canadians and all Anglos have that way of discrimination... Which I never saw in other people from Africans to Asians...etc...

[inkey2]

So what you are saying is that Americans should be linguistic experts and be able to understand all world dialects.....and if not....we are racists
