Hotel owner tells Hispanic workers to change names
By MELANIE DABOVICH, Associated Press

TAOS, N.M. - Larry Whitten marched into this northern New Mexico town in late July on a mission: resurrect a failing hotel.

The tough-talking former Marine immediately laid down some new rules. Among them, he forbade the Hispanic workers at the run-down, Southwestern adobe-style hotel from speaking Spanish in his presence (he thought they'd be talking about him), and ordered some to Anglicize their names.
Yep - in Taos, NM this guy thinks being/sounding Hispanic is bad for business!

I'm betting he watches Lou Dobbs & voted for McCain.
What do you think?
