5. Humbug. I went to a swanky resort on Cape Cod. The staff were all Eastern European...

Its not about guests "running into someone who speaks their own language".

Its about being cheap. The Russians lived ten to a house. Even a college student couldn't compete with how little these people would accept for pay.

Plus, the service sucked. I did not enjoy getting a drink from a blunt Russian woman tending bar who asked "What want?" This was supposed to be an enjoyable experience. I won't be going back there.

Cape Cod is whiter-skinned (and bluer-haired) than just about any place I can think of. Its not like it was a bargain resort. No excuse for a bunch of immigrants working. Your argument is nothing more than apologetics for driving wages down.
