In theory , since it ' s the house the speaker could nominate himself too , there is some possibility that ' s the way it would end up in a compromise situation if the 270 requirement wasn ' t met . <| sep |> I think it ' s mostly from a cultural shift . I don ' t consider myself racist by any means , but I ' m working with a foreign national on a construction project , and neither of us are particularly good at speaking the other ' s language . He speaks English heavily accented , I speak Turkish incorrectly and with poor grammar . To his credit , he ' s put in a ton of effort to learn a second language . But he also speaks with a speech impediment , and the accent makes him nearly impossible to understand . It ' s incredibly frustrating to try to convey simple ideas to him because of those differences , and half the time we rely on pulling up drawings , pointing , and playing charades . I got halfway through reviewing our documentation on welds before I realized that he was talking about test wells for electrical . I have to constantly remind myself of just how difficult it must be for him to be in a country where he struggles to speak the language and to convey complicated ideas in that language . In another time and era where it was culturally acceptable to say the Turks are inferior and where that was a commonly believed idea by my friends , family , and mentors , I would probably have agreed and treated our interactions as evidence of such . It would have been wrong then just as it would be now , but it ' s easy to see how people form those ideas based on limited experiences .
