I just made it to Ann Arbor and checking email at Panera, and feeling really annoyed. There were 2 young moms sitting near me, with wee ones maybe 18 mos old. No surprise that the kids made a bit of a mess. But the panera woman who came round to clean up made a HUGE show of cleaning up and said really loudly "some people just cant clean up after themselves." These 2 ladies happened to be speaking Spanish, and i got the distinct impression that she said that so loudly because she thought they wouldnt hear. Anyway i felt really angry at this racial ly motivated comment. Get over it America! America is a multiethnic society with people speaking lots of languages and from different ethnic backgrounds. I love that about our country- its diverse and i'm happy to embrace that.
