Apart from racism based on skin color in US how many of you have experienced accent based racism ? When you call any govt agency or service oriented firms to inquire about something the rep's voice changes from polite to not-so-polite tone as soon as he/she listens to you and finds out your un-American accent. At times, they act rude and even start yelling at you. They totally forget how they were taught during their training about how to behave with a customer. Share your experience, friends.
