Well I'm not a racist but I've experienced this.
I had members of a large migrant group stand on either side of me at the shop as I was punching in my credit card pin number, I politely told them to stand behind me and wait their turn to be served.

So that behaviour is only ever displayed by migrants?

It always amuses me when someone starts a conversation with I'm not a racist but.... It's almost as if they think it doesn't matter how racist they really are, they're off the hook if they prefix every prejudiced and ignorant remark with "I'm not racist."

1) Where does this Migrant race originate from anyway? The country of Migra?

2) FYI: I believe I'm racist against five-years olds, because those little things would cut ANY line if you let them....

To some degree, yes; but I'm not talking about slurping your soup to show respect to the cook or breaking plates. I'm talking about a baseline level of respect that any human being with any level of compassion or empathy should acquire (ie. displaying a level of patience for a disabled person). If the training for acquiring appropriate social awareness has not occurred due to cultural neglect, then I say that culture is weak- poorly adapted, not fully evolved, and quite simply- prehistoric in its capacity.

Well, then its not their fault anyway. They can't help it if they want to go around eating each other.
Them folks were probably just not brought up right. And maybe not enough McDonaldses in their area.

When I was a floral designer, many moons ago, I worked with another young lady my age

she did not shave and I'm guessing wear any deodorant either because woah...

she was a great gal, from our country, so I'm drawing from this she was just making
a natural statement. Exercising her right to be herself stinky as that may be.

Regardless of the impact on others.

I'm not so sure what is wrong with some social norms. But I guess people can do whatever they want, and then whenever I cross paths with them I will do whatever I feel is right. If I worked with someone with terrible BO, it would be brought up to HR for sure eventually.

When I worked at a sawmill in the past, the superintendent sent a dude home with a bar of soap and told him not to come back until he used up the entire bar. Mind you, guys stacking boards and cutting lumber are not the most hygienic group in the world, but you could smell this guy from 20 feet away.

I'm not sure if anyone was from Iowa, but there sure was an overabundance of big goofy fuckers that I worked with.
