Today, my dad cussed out an individual on the phone because he thought it was a telemarketer. He was my Indian girlfriend's father. FML

Your dad should have asked where they were calling from first. Standard procedure for telemarketers at my house. And then you hang up on them once you have ascertained that it is a telemarketer on the other end.

Maybe he won't take your father's bigotry to heart?

When I told my mom the name of the girl I was taking to the winter dance, she immediately asked if she was black (her name was Serena). It seems your dad went a little overboard. Hopefully he didn't say anything you can't patch up.

my parents do that with my friends... they always ask if they are black or Hispanic never white. they aren't racist though because we are mixed with black and other stuff but I guess it's just because black and Hispanics are thought of as bad.

I always ask what city they're in. As a truck driver, a lot of my coworkers were born in India and if the call centre is here I will know at least a little about his city. I get them sidetracked into talking about where we both live for a few minutes then tell them I gotta go. Most seem happy for the distraction from the stupid script they have to read.

Did he call while you were eating? If not, you can be sure it isn't a telemarketer. Tell your father to go a vacation and meet new people, how about a trip to India and he might just understand that a country with only telemarketer just won't function.
