What is this guy talking about high class......Look like this i___t has
been working too long in AI. I think most Indians operate motels to be their
own boss instead of working for racists like this guy. Also most of the Indians
who operate motels hire people from this so called high class to do the shit-work. If this guy can get away from his AI and use his real intelligence (if any)
to look around, he would be sorry to have posted this stuff here.

  r your information, I cannot wait for something better and go on 
welfare as you high class people seems to be doing.

While you hunt for your information, why don't you send me names of people
of your type for my list of high class people so that I can hire them to do
the shit-work in my motels.

For others on the net: I could have replied this guy personally but I wanted
your reaction to what I feel. I wanted to bringup this kind of topic on the
net  and wanted to find out if there are a lot of people of this kind
around. What are your experiences?
