Racism in the IT Industry (contracting or otherwise..)
Some clueless agent phoned me up waxing lyrical about a contract with all mod cons. When he told me it was in Dubai I laughed at him and said they probably wouldn't be interested in me. He was completely non-plussed by this and said that my CV was perfect - I had to explain that I had bumpy bits in all the wrong places. He was most indignant and would only go away when I said I would definately take the contract if the client wanted me.
At least he had the decency to phone up mortified and apologied for the 'confusion'.

Smoke signals?? You mean there are Red Indians, sorry, Indiginous Americans on this board? What next? Hope there's no Innuit on here, I hate those lousy seal-clubbing whale-spearing bastards. They can all bog off back to Alaska or wherever it is.
