lmfao he didn't call Yon a racist. And for the record: Rambus is a chubby white guy who spends his time hitting on guys (not that there's anything wrong with guy on guy, but Rambus, you creep me the fuck out.)
Read what is in Rhad's sig: it's a quote from Yon saying that jobism is as bad as racism irl... how is that Rad calling yon a racist? (Hint: That's Yon bitching abut job bias in FFXI incase you couldn't tell)
and what is the problem of poking fun at jobism at RL? im not the only one taking things out of context here

As previously stated many times, rhad is not frustrated at their presence as you keep trying to say, he's frustrated with the fact that he moved on to learn english and feels like his progress is hindered because those around him cannot speak it fluently/correctly. These frustrations I understand; as they say: When in Rome do as the romans do.... but what if rome was full of greeks?

(Does that make any sense? I swear it works out in my head... never mind!)

As most of you know, I'm brazilian and I know that a lot of brazilian residents in whatever country you live in can't speak English at all. I don't want to be racist here, I just want to complain about some stuff.
Anyways, I'm studying English in a school for foreign students in Vancouver, Canada. Nice city, nice people, nice weather, but one thing always crosses my mind whenever I actually pay attention to people around me...why are there so many people here that can't speak English clearly?
There is a lot of foreigners living here where their English is dreadful. I rarely comprehend what they're trying to say, and most of them carry around an electronic thesaurus to actually succeed in speaking words such as "college" or "breakfast".
I mean, c'mon. I was hoping I'd go to some place where people would help me improve MY English and not the other way around. Correcting a Pizza Hut attendant on how to pronounce the word twenty through the phone was when I reached my limit and I felt I really needed to share this with you guys. It's not tchuenry, God damn it.
Is there other areas that have a situation like this?
sure there is, people speak this "ebonics" where I have a hard time understanding them, there is a lot of people near where I live that have heavy Mexican dilect and is hard to understand them at times, where others speak no English at all.
I took out the crap, is this what you where tying to get across?
instead of basing me for not UNDERSTANDING YOU, you could explain it differently or change the wording.
I am not going to assume you are a nice guy that is saying something with wrong wording because I do not know you, this is the net, you need to explain things clearly and be precise
It does not matter what others say, or think what others say, what matters is is how/ what he says. if hes not specific on how he says it and leads to other interpretation on what it is said then the problem is on the speaker.

I hope that anyone who's not a complete retard might want to reply to this thread.
I don't even think it's worth it to explain myself to Rambus. If anyone who has a brain gets my message wrong, then I'll gladly repair any misunderstanding I might have caused.

I'm dead serious; roughly 60% of the people in my school are japanese, not to mention the random korean and chinese around. Also, so fucking many asians anywhere I go, and in almost every store I go to, the salesperson is, also, asian. And the worst thing is that their English is dreadful. I rarely comprehend what they're trying to say, and most of them carry around an electronic thesaurus to actually succeed in speaking words such as "college" or "breakfast".

The only positive side of this situation: I can assure you that those japanese girls at school are craving for penises away from their hometown.
Now, is it just Vancouver or do these people infest your area too?
those underlined stuff makes it sound like a racist post. it was not just that last line that pissed me off.
acting such shows hes being a jerk
