Re: Strikes me kind of uneasy...

Personally when he made the comment on how America won't let Indians keep taking their jobs and FIRST is helping Americans make sure of that, I was slightly offended being Indian myself. However, I can see that from his position that he would or had to take that stance. But, what I really didnt appreciate was when I commented that what the Secretary said wasn't very politically correct to my teammates, the guy in sitting in front of me turns around and says "I work with alot of Indians, they're great, but we're still better." I would expect that kind of statement from a student but this was from an mentor or chaperone. This isn't the kind of attitude we want to promote in FIRST.
