Racist? Whom is being a racist?

It was clear, that you lacked the ability to understand even basic Grammatical structure of the English language.

So I was simply attempting to ascertain what your native language was.

Other moderators simply call posters that may have linguistic problems drunks.

I on the other hand only attempted to determine your native language so that I can attempt to converse with you in your native tongue so you can better comprehend what I am saying.

It was not racism, it was "cultural outreach" . Instead of being an "Ugly American" and demanding everyone speak English, I attempted to reach out to you in what I thought would be a dialect that you were more accustomed to.

It is call "Cultural Outreach".

Perhaps the Tankwatch board is "English Only?"

As my profile says... No good deed, goes unpunished.....

My first "Cultural Outreach" guess was Ebonics, since many of your posts indicated a lower level of education.

If I posted the translation in French, would I also be accused of being a racist.?

Il semble que vous êtes celui qui a besoin de Google Maps afin que vous puissiez offrir ces pizzas à ma maison, comme vous avez perdu votre cul sur Nokia. Cependant, je suis à la retraite mostely, et n'ont pas l'utilisation de cartes de super parce que je sais c'est la plage la. Donc Goolge Maps est pas une grosse affaire pour moi.

And so it goes,
