Rude, Racial Pollsters

My Polling Place, originally uploaded by Kim Shattuck.

I witnessed at least 3 different racial comments coming from a pair of idiotic pollsters in Burbank, CA.

I was there for a total of 10 minutes and the entire time I was there I witnessed and experienced this inappropriate joking.

It was from an old crusty white guy who was taking the finished ballots and a middle aged, cackling, hispanic guy wearing an Uncle Sam hat giving out little cheap flags to the voters.

This is what I heard from them while I was there:

To a nice hispanic man: "I don't think it counts if you are a Nicaraguan, just kidding"

To an elderly American lady: "It doesn't count since this lady is Chinese, hahaha."

Incidently she was caucasian...

To me, a caucasian woman: The Uncle Sam said "I can't give you this flag unless you are a real American...Are you?"

I gave him what I consider the hairy eyeball (a dirty look) to which he chuckled and said "Just kidding"

Um...it was very inappropriate and just so lame. Like a frat house kind of.

I don't know if I can even trust them to not make paper airplanes out of all of our ballots.

Where can I turn these goons in?

I've been waiting for this voting day for 8 long years and I didn't appreciate this at all.

Yes We Can-Barack Obama
