Prius could outsell Camry says US Toyota boss
Ummmm
There's just so much ignorance in his remark it's not even funny.
From the Scion web site: “A marque of Toyota Motor Sales USA, Inc”
Your Scion is a Toyota. I'll be it even says so in your owner's manual or vehicle ID sticker if you look hard enough.
Kelle has this thing where she tells people “YOU'RE PURPLE” in an angry voice. They just look at her, incredulous, and certainly NOT insulted. Why aren't they insulted? Because they know they're not purple… and even if they were, what difference to them would it make? This is an excellent lesson on self esteem in terms of not caring what other people say or think. If you know (insert negative description here) isn't true, then someone calling you that can't hurt you. You have to give them this power. It comes from insecurity. Know this, and next time it will likely bounce right off.
Now, as for the bigotry of the remark generally, regardless of whether you thought this guy was personally calling you an epithet, well, I don't really know what to say to people who say things like that. They're ignorant and bigoted and they probably like themselves that way.
This really is a good question. How does one talk to such people?
V-hickles?

Even the giant Toyota Motor said Thursday that it has had to make adjustments in the kind of steel it buys to ensure steady supplies. The shortfall in steel is unusual in a country that for most of the last decade has been dealing with problems of excess – too many workers, unused plants and more banks than needed – but analysts and executives say it is a problem that could become increasingly common.
