No, see that's not a good humored remark. You were casually making fun of a race of people.
I'm ok with my friends teasing me just to make fun of ME because that's what friends do sometimes. I know that aren't ragging on my race. It's way different than me walking into a casual conversation about how greedy the Patels are.
Yeah, dude, you're a POS. Take your racism elsewhere, because clearly, you won't even admit that you were being an ass. And it's not ok.
And I'm not a Patel, but I still think you're a POS racist. I'm not putting words in your mouth, you literally said.....
"I say they don't like trouble is try and resolve a problem with money with one of them. It very nearly can't be done. They talk around the issue
until they've got you believing YOU owe THEM.
I had my tickets tallied up one day and handed them over...well the machine must not have been cleared from the last sale or something but
I got shorted about $10...I said, that's not right. Then I get the No, no, you gave me these...and the machine says what you won. Well, stood
there for 10 minutes trying to get my extra $10 (geez not like I needed it but principle comes in then) They stand tough but you can whittle them
down by standing your ground ESPECIALLY if there's more customers in the store. They like to make sales too so the longer they are in an
argument with someone, the less they sell to other people.
Now my smokeshop guy CAN'T be a Patel....I haven't seen anything like him. He's a dream and if it turns out he's one...well, he could very easily
make up for all the bad ones singlehandedly."
