With all due respect, Tom, your argument follows typical tea party logic. You already have your opinion, and now will find examples to prove it.

As if nobody has tried to refute my examples, either? That is a two way street. Besides, I always thought that examples were used to prove or elevate points being made, during conversations and debates?

In no way did I EVER state that ALL Middle Eastern or ALL First Generation Immigrant Development companies ALWAYS tear down iconic places. I simply made a generalized statement. What you read beyond that, is on you.

You appear to be fixing your blame on one demographic, and there has and always will be a name for that kind of thing.

Really? What happened to the "With all due respect..."?
First and last Lucas, don't ever insinuate I am a racist, or a biggot. You don't know me, have no idea about me, or my background, so you need to back off with that tone(with all due respect, of course).
(this coming from someone who claims a Latino can't be from Spanish background...Heh.)

And Telescopes, If Donald Trump was responsible for NY Trader Vic's demise, you mind telling us who was responsible for Beverly Hills Trader Vic's, since the company was used as an example anyway?
Again, in case some people missed it;
Nothing derogatory was stated about Mr. Nazarian and his ethnicity, and just because I used the two together, still is not derogatory. It is factual.

And for the future, and just to keep things simple...The next time I decide to chime in on something, I'll make sure to keep it as generic and without detail, as possible. That way, I can avoid the witch hunt in the future.
