so this he's really one of our i guess you would say and vp members would you
not say willis
and we used to have a
other names but were not allowed to use his anymore right
buzzer add-ons that were not allowed was now using
you're taking this a different direction that i wanted to go which was really i
just wanna say thanks to alex and of course to all of the other
uh... members who are david package of members and will be saying hello to
visit the water utilities etc
you know there's some p_b_s_ is too big for that list
forget about the music forget about the fred i know i have just the i have just

all right so bella and uh... i would you want mention of course you can become a
member guarded gated packing dot com up through the end of january if you go to
david packing dot com slash buddy there's a special where you get a
one-year membership and a hoodie special package it's is worth doing it tech out
uh... the package lewis has developed
that's all i can say
uh... alright and morality with my comedy we haven't done this for a couple
of weeks actually here's a a new morality question now i know that
there's going to be a lot of legal arguments for this one
i don't really want to focus on the legal argument i want to focus on the
morality of it
but if we get into a legal stuff i guess i guess we do in order
language dialect and accent
is it okay to discriminate against people because of their dialect
when the motive speech might not be understood by a portion of the community
that they might be working within their job okay
so this is not of foreign accent because that is actually quite a bit of
legislation i was able to find a covers
foreign accents and whether the the accent will be but uh... affecting a key
part of the person's job or not but what i'm talking about here is if you have
someone for example
from the south with a very
thick southern accent in the u_s_
and they go up to boxed in
and it could be argued hey you know what my customer they too have a hard time
understanding this person sir because of their dialect
i don't wanna higher than is that an ethical as a discrimination in some way
if they can speak english properly
but because of their
regional dialect nobody can understand them
i think by definition is not discriminatory if you're making this
decision
uh... based on how will affect your business
uh... okay what if i said you know what my customers are racists are hiring the
black guy is really going to be bad for my business
you can't do that
that's not a good argument
you're right it's not
because i have kind of its kind of a different one though
it is different let's go to the time this and he has a background in
linguistics
he has insights he speaks a variety of languages he's considering taking
advanced graduate degrees in ed number of different language anyway stock
issues but let's get to it uh... what i would have been all point out that we
study in linguistics has nothing to do it
with questions like these exactly liability go on
i would say it's definitely discrimination if the person pete speaks
uh... unintelligible in english
and they simply have an accent that's less uh...
uh...
well viewed
in society than that certainly discrimination let's say it's not that
it's been a federation of intelligibility let's say within on
paper
perfectly grammatically correct english
however when you hear it someone from boston
it's such a
thick southern accent someone from boston would have trouble understanding
and i love the hypothetical
if they have trouble understanding it then that i think it if the job requires
uh... clients for example time drift and you
then thats
in effect the job performance but it doesn't affect the job performance
directly it's simply that you recognize the accent
that's a that's clearly discriminant all right what's your thought louis right
rear its on its
there might be hard to prove your your uh... reasoning behind it
hiring about hiring the person but if it's in the best interest of your
business and you sincerely believe that
it will adversely affect business and won't be you know your customers want
understand the person
what can you give yeah i think it's a logical move i don't think it's
discriminatory
uh... to some fortunate for the person who has this look at some okay let's
take it to the next logical question which is you know the when it's going to
be discussed on utube let's say
that the person has been a are dialect that is that is what we might identify
as and inner city dialect
dialect that many would call uh... i don't even know if it's a politically
correct term but need by next associated with african-americans
same reasoning you know what
i think my customers ages there during this does this way of speaking is going
to negatively effect my business
are we talking about the same thing are you guys fine with that perspective
scrimmage
i think it's what you said before if the reason why it's gonna negatively affect
your business
is because you client to racist
that states probably discriminatory but if it's a question of your clients not
understanding from
the next day it's probably not
uh...
same scenario and i think uh... i think any boss too
isn't uh... you know walking on eggshells around this would
harder for you to say someone listened the customers are having trouble
understanding you
you know it i think this uh...
probably happens uh... fairly often fairly or not they would get a lawsuit
if you say that if you say that in a certain situation and you're completely
sincere nec my customers just can't understand yeah methylated go
uh... if it's a certain situation you're going to get a lot in that situation
you have to see that happening buddy i don't think it's any uh...
it reflects anyway uh...
the morality of the business owner
