Taos, N.M. Hotel Owner Orders Hispanic Workers To Change Names

to the rest of the story? Now I want to know what followed.

Northern New Mexicans don't tolerate his type at all. He'll be lucky if he doesn't get some of his property torched.

to A. Bigoted Assmunch. :grr:

He has some valid points.

But they are only valid if they apply to the situation.


The names Marcos and Martin are difficult to understand or pronounce?

There should be a distinction between manning the desk phones and dealing directly with guests. It is easier to understand a person face to face even with someone with English as their second language. While a person handling phone calls is more difficult depending on the person's master of the English language.

Maybe he should consider providing language classes for some of his employees that he feels absolutely need it for their job. Changing their names won't help that problem.



This person actually posted messages about this incident on the hotel marquee? Not good business practice and leaves him in legal jeopardy in my opinion as well as losing possible guests in the future.
