I am a white American, born and raised in NY, and one who has been personally affected by the attacks on the WTC. My only reason for pointing out that the agent spoke with a foreign accent was that I felt that she did this to me because she does not like Americans-especially ones from NY-as my ID showed.</font>
Not to distract from the discussion at hand but if you travel as much as we do, you will soon realize that gate agents, as a whole, do not discriminate on age, sex or race when it comes to bad service.
Would it surprise you if this gate agent was as much an American as you are (perhaps even one with an American Passport already?
) and could have equally been affected by WTC tragedies?
Just curious. Why do you consider this GA "a foreigner" especially when you do not know his/her history and status?
PS: I, personally, don't think any state has a monopoly on racists.
