You would think that today's society would be more adaptable to other races, languages, etc. It's, however, an ongoing matter here where I live and work. Although there are Code of Ethics that should be followed, people are still stuck in their own prejudice worlds. I speak English and Français. I will speak the language of my choice when and where I want to. If a person is more comfortable speaking French with me, then I will respond to them in the language of their choice. I've been in this city for just over a year and have been slammed many times for speaking French.
I have conversations with people over the phone that I work with from Montreal, and apparently this creates problems with others since they 'cannot understand what I am saying'. The conversation is about work and not about them. Their insecurities are somewhat childish.
I've received some words of wisdom from my husband today. He told me to 'Hydro-plane over the bullshit'.
Cheers,
Dee :)
