12 May 2008Your food's no good hereTrini reports that no, she did not donate to the food drive this past weekend, because apparently all the notifications sent to her neighborhood were in Spanish, which may have simplified matters for the letter carriers but didn't do a thing for actual speakers of English in the neighborhood. Not that they're going to send them out in German for her or anything, but still, she was a bit vexed at being left out of the process, and at the assumption that because she lives at such-and-such an address (she's on the south side, between 44th and 59th) she must be Hispanic. Jaime Crow is supposed to be dead, guys.
