    Welp... We're all immigrants in one way or another.. You gotta learn English somewhere... Can't expect everyone to know it right of the bat.

    Funny because it is true, when I went to costa rica everybody "spoke" english, from san jose all the way to jaco. They might not know the word "green pepper" but you can have a decent conversation with them.

    English doesn’t have the most speakers, it is the official language of more countries than any other language.

    You should try learning some English of your own.

    Lol. I'm normally not a grammar Nazi, but the (mis)usage of periods and commas in that paragraph is maddening.

    An ability to communicate fluently with the local people, and a reasonable knowledge of available products is required for any sales job. At least to do the job well. Sometimes that isn't important.

    I think we've all had moments when we have been frustrated by a language barrier. "Damn Indians" firmly puts you into racist territory, though.

    I'm pretty sure the OP was just letting off some steam. But your point is still mildly valid. I'm a firm believer that everybody is at least a little bias based on race. Racist has a nasty connotation so i try to reserve that for people trying to lynch up other people, but we have all been there saying or at least thinking something based upon someone else's race. Honestly, it's just nature. As long as the OP didn't punch the guy and yell some nasty sh1t at him I don't begrudge him for being frustrated.

    But yeah OP, this may not have been the best place to throw your comments up at. Keep that frustration at home bro.

    Here's the difference and a great example: go to another country...don't speak their language...they will revert to a broken form of English to try to help you. They take the time to try to learn our language in other countries just to deal with us. Perhaps the OP should try to learn the offender's native tongue to learn to deal with them.

    I deal with mexicans alot, thats when I get angry because I always just assume they jumped the boarder to live here because I am racist and I don't give a ****.

    Or hmong people or whoever, you want to live here, learn atleast a few words of slang/english because I can't help you when you can't even understand me.

    Sven that is not even close to the truth. In other countries if you do not attempt to communicate in their native tongue they will not help you.
