I demand an apology from Steele for his "classist" remarks.
Edited on Fri Feb-18-05 12:53 PM by mzmolly
Why is it insulting to people of color or anyone else to work in a hotel?

Answer: It's not! Hotels often embrace affirmative action. The AFLCIO indicates that Hotel Workers are "mostly immigrants and people of color." Should the AFLCIO apologize?

So, Mr. Steele, I demand an apology from you for your CLASSIST remarks as it is NOT an insult to call someone a "hotel worker."

For those who aren't aware, Steele demanded an apology from Dean for making a remark that is being discussed here in GD. :hi:
