Startling Discovery At My Local Cardroom


Recommended Posts

I play at a cardroom near my home about three days out of the week, and am very familiar with the owner, the floormen, and most of the dealers. One of the dealers and I are good friends. We play home games together and hang out on a fairly regular basis. Here's where it get's a little tricky. I recently discovered that this dealer is of Mexican decent. Normally this wouldn't be a problem for me at all. I have many friends of different races, but because he is employed at my favorite casino I feel there is a conflict of interest. Like most poker players, I have an obligation to the integrity of the game, and I'm almost positive the managers of the casino are unaware that this dealer is Mexican. He's very light skinned. Now I am in no way suggesting that the owners would fire this guy because of his race, but it's fair to assume that they would want to keep a close eye on him just in case. Personally, I should have seen this coming a long time ago. His name is Jesus, but I just didn't put two and two together. I've been pronouncing it like the biblical name. Anyway, I don't want to rat out my friend, but I feel sometimes like I owe my loyalty first to the game and the casino. What do you guys think I should do?

so what you're saying is that it is illegal to be mexican? call in the national guard!!!
No, I'm not saying that at all. Stop putting words in my mouth. I just think that the owner would probably want to know so that he can keep a closer eye on him. That's all. You know, just in case.

I hope you are joking. What is wrong with being Mexican? If you are not joking, this is brutally racist. You should be ashamed of yourself.

That is truly funny. This post reminds of the sensitivity training class on Rescue Me. "Why do black people get all the good racial slurs. All hispanics get is spic."And I am assuming you are trying to be funny.

Obviously, there is nothing wrong with being Mexican. I just think it's fair that the owner knows about the situation in case something in the office goes missing.

Look, I'm not saying anything is wrong with him being Mexican. I certainly don't want him to get fired or anything. It just seems fair to me that the owner should be informed so that he can protect the integrity of the casino. That's all.

I think I'll still invite him to my home games, but I'll probably make sure he stays in the garage. There are a lot of valuables in my home that aren't insured.

I don't know what some of you guys find funny about this. It's a very stressfull decision for me to make, and not one of you guys has given any good advice.
Difficult decision, but I think as a patriotic American you're obligated to report him to the INS.
