Since when does anyone ask anyone else to change their names?

You should see his motel in Santee, SC. It has been run by the management for years the way they want to run it. All family employees there, i,e,. boyfriend, girlfriend, mothers, daughters, fathers, sons, etc. He hasn't changed that hotel in that respect at all. This is a laugh!!

*there not they

I thought he was very rational. He would apply the same standard to someone with a name or language from any other country in Europe. They are hard to pronounce Germanic and Nordic names that he would probably change too.

that is typical american/european arrogance..he is just bein honest about it, instead of tellin lies and coverin it up. they ran it that way because it has been through a couple of owners! if that fool would just learn spanish, he could not only understand what they say but he will also be able to share in the beauty of that culture! texas is right next to the border! he is an idiot...i hate to speak ill of anybody......but no man can truly afford such arrogance.
