You made my day thanks :P

Speaking your native language = being pretentious?

That's unfair to assume OP was attempting to 'impress' someone by speaking his mother-tongue. He clearly stated that none of his friends speak it, from the FML I got the vibe that OP was thrilled at the thought of being able to communicate in that fashion again. If you went to... Lets say Japan... And you spoke Japanese all day, everyday for years, you'd be very happy if someone spoke your language once in a while. It doesn't make you pretentious to attempt it once in a while if you feel they of all people might understand you.

So you're saying because he looks Indian he should know the countries native language? Even if they've lived in America all their lives?? That's stupid.

Assuming someone should speak a certain language while looking at their skin colour borders on racism, just so you know.

How the ******* **** is this racist?? I live in Wales in the UK and the county I'm from doesn't speak a lot of Welsh. I went to school and learnt a little. I now work in an office where I answer the phone bilingually because we're asked to and although I don't speak Welsh people will start the conversation in Welsh and I have to politely stop them. Is that racist? That they've assumed I can speak it? No. Racism is getting out of control I think, you can barely breathe properly these days without someone saying "that's racist."

Apples and oranges. You answer the phone in two languages so it's not unreasonable for the person calling to assume you speak both. This guy is seemingly indian and works or runs an indian restaurant in the US. Unless OP can hear them speaking a foreign language with own ears or there is a sign saying YOU CAN ORDER IN HINDI or the like, it is exactly racial profiling to make that sort of assumption. You are making broad assumptions based on color and/or ethnicity. I'm clearly not saying there's racial discrimination going on, but racial profiling certainly is.
