This one's a strange tale. A family from Britain, on holiday here in the US and all they ask is that they not be interfered with by the negros who ordinarily are paid to serve and assist them in the hotel they stayed. They're enough serious issues affronting us to ignore this.

Of note however is this family apparently was rich enough to get the hotel management to go along with them. Times are hard and revenues are down, maybe a little extra cash from xenophobes, not in their own country to keep negros out the way though still on the clock, makes sense. I'm mean only real racist would ask for them to be fired for a week right. Actually I thought real racist like being served or rather prefer to be served by us. That's what I get for stereotyping. The dad should have been President of the US long before Lincoln. The result: an end to slavery. If anyone is committed to a cause, its got to be this guy.

With all the complaints the Brits have about foreigners in their own country, how does this little family expect such treatment. I would bet they called ahead. They got their request too, but what made the hotel receptive to such and think they could pull if off. Perhaps this is a new form of tourism. It certainly gives the words "vacation" and of course "holiday", its sibling from Europe new meaning. I guess the the next time I'm sitting in choir rehearsal especially, church occasionally or even the bus or train and I feel a certain desire or a serious yearning for something other, I now know that its a "Holiday" I long for, and apparently one I can get at the Ritz-Carlton in Naples, Florida. The fee priceless.
