Granted, that didn't have anything to do with being politically correct or sensitive, but still. <BR/><BR/>I agree with taradise.Annie Jarmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248339527698224747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825846027612679867.post-53816207249626054332008-05-30T13:16:00.000-07:002008-05-30T13:16:00.000-07:00That’s the American Way!!!When I go to a Mexican R...That’s the American Way!!!<BR/>When I go to a Mexican Restaurant or I run into a Latino (Spanish Speaking person) I instantly tend to speak in Spanish... or at least used to, because it seems that some Latinos find that a little offensive. <BR/><BR/>Yes! They find offensive that two people who speak Spanish… actually speak Spanish to each other. Also some other non Spanish speaking people find offensive if they speak Spanish between one another. <BR/><BR/>So the polite thing to do is or either speaks English at all times, or speak Spanish when no one is listening… <BR/><BR/>I fond it ridiculous, but I don’t speak Spanish anymore until someone speaks to me in Spanish.Hernan+https://www.blogger.com/profile/00389777059318691696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825846027612679867.post-22652283329198919372008-05-30T11:18:00.000-07:002008-05-30T11:18:00.000-07:00I think it might be overly-sensitive (yes, i think...I think it might be overly-sensitive (yes, i think that is possible), but maybe not overtly PC. Because I am pretty sure lots of Eskimos have died in Blizzards but you don't see Dairy Queen doing anything about changing the name of their shakes. <BR/><BR/>These days people tip-toe around anything that MIGHT offend someone. I would have been weirded-out and slightly annoyed in your situation too.tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015059354133820500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825846027612679867.post-48178000164039889282008-05-30T09:47:00.000-07:002008-05-30T09:47:00.000-07:00I don't think it makes any difference in the grand...I don't think it makes any difference in the grand scheme of things whether Jamba Juice changed the name or not, but I do think it has nothing to do with political correctness, and does show some sensitivity on the part of a large corporation. So that's refreshing. Actually, the gesture and the actual Jamba are both refreshing.redstarmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14172813865322870659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825846027612679867.post-11045444031600118002008-05-30T09:27:00.000-07:002008-05-30T09:27:00.000-07:00I don't think you can be overly sensitive about so...I don't think you can be overly sensitive about someone's loss. It's a tragic and traumatic way to die and watch people die and it was a simple thing for Jamba Juice to change the name. No harm done to them. I think it was a nice gesture. Easy fix. Everybody's happy.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10489746595325748833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825846027612679867.post-45475678062076693852008-05-30T08:07:00.000-07:002008-05-30T08:07:00.000-07:00I think every thing is getting so ridiculous.I think every thing is getting so ridiculous.Sharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06087436937183831135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825846027612679867.post-59833052378217250362008-05-30T07:50:00.000-07:002008-05-30T07:50:00.000-07:00yes, it is. that is crazy but it doesn't surprise ...yes, it is. that is crazy but it doesn't surprise me!Amber Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151936675478144797noreply@blogger.com
