Maybe it helps to bring or wear a piece of Indian Jewelry or some tining on you. Something that is tasteful, but ethnic and obvious. When you notice they are looking at it or your nose ring,  tell them quickly, this is Indian; if you are wondering. and tell them your grandfather was Indian and you hope wearing religious Jewelry does not violate your policy. Or if they are polite enough not to look at your Jewelry, ask if religious Jewelry violates the company policy. If they never call back, try another company.

On my team--(in the USA) we do that too. It is only b/c we do not want out pants to get wet, because after we are dried off at the end and going home (esp. in the winter) we want our pants dry. It is very uncomfortable otherwise. On top it is okay, bc we put another jacket over it. We don't always have time to change clothes or bring another pair so that is just the way we do it.

Im in Ireland and my cousins birthday is St.Patrick's day. And all we do is throw a normal party like it was any other day and then go to the pub. No-one in Ireland drinks green beer, or eats cabbage and corned beef on Paddy's Day, because we don't need to prove we are Irish or try make ourselves feel Irish by doing these things.These are not Irish customs, they are American. If your daughter is Irish, then that will be enough for her on Paddy's Day, have a normal party, while the rest of America is running around trying to be as Irish as possible and not even coming close to what she is.

St. Patrick was a missionary \nHe went to Ireland on a mission kind of trip\nHe was from England\nHe was a missionary\nOh, and the reason why we have a clover to represent St. Patty's Day is because the clover represents the Trinity (God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit). \nAnd, in Ireland they wear Orange on St. Patty's Day

I don't know the specific punishment for that on the day of judgement but I do know the reason why we have to wear that which I think you already know.\n\nShake hand.. I guess it's gonna be quite tough. I take it you're a corporate women or someone like that? Anyway, whether or not you live in west, aren't you suppose to wear hijab or something to cover the hair? So, I think most people would already know your religion. Um, if they're not.. I guess you can always smile back and nod your head a little as the response to their gesture. I don't think you would have to launch into speech or something, smile to them is polite enough. Just go through the real business already. :)\n\n^_^ I hope my answer helps though I don't have any experience living in west.

I'm an American of Irish decent, married to a American of German decent. It made my family so angry when I married outside my species that they all got piss drunk and beat me up. And then, they sentenced me to..........."The Wearin' of the Green Shoes"! So now, if I return to Ireland, I'll be marked for assassination by both Protestants and Catholics alike.  ;-)

Honestly, be sure you've got lots for people to eat as irish fare is made to go great with beer/ale.  We always had great St. Patty parties!  The right mix of people and a stern lecture to leave firearms and moonshine at home (neither were listened to with more than politeness ;)  In any case, irish stew, corned beef and cabbage, irish soda bread....all spectacular fare for such an event and you don't have to do it all.  Lots of people welcome the opportunity to show off their best dish or are happy to help with your menu.  Good food, Good drink, Good friends.  That's how to celebrate St. Patrick's day!

I had a fun filled St. Paddy's day.  First, I got up and went to work...yay, yay.  I work in a locked dementia/Alzheimer's unit as a recreation coordinator which is a dandy job.  I arrive to work at 8:30 on the dot.  By 9:13 a.m. I had changed my shoes 'cause someone peed on my foot while I was braiding their hair.  That was nice.  Then I went to lunch and had a tuna roll and iced tea from Railway Market.  That was nice too.  A little better then the urine on the foot, but not as warm and intimate.  By 1:23 p.m. a kind elderly soul didn't want to play Jeopardy with me so he sunk his dentures into my hand and spit in my hair.  (The shamrock earrings I was wearing weren't making me feel "lucky" anymore.)  Because those dentures really ventured down deep, I spent the rest of the workday in the emergency room getting stitched up and medicated.  It was a blast!  By 7:40 p.m. I was home (damn waiting rooms) and I think I may have had 1/2 a Guinness beer and a hot shower (hand covered in a Ziploc freezer bag during the shower, mind you...) before I fell asleep on the couch.  I awoke at 2:30 a.m. to find my dear dog Hank, had crapped on the floor.  My St. Paddy's day rocked!!!

I think that if you are in the company of people that are offended by you wearing pants and they are hurting spiritually because of it, then you should wear your culottes around them.\n\nI don't think you should stop wearing pants altogether.  So many things can be taken to the extreme.  Just practice deference.  If you cut out everything that someone could find something wrong with, you'd be left with nothing.  I mean, you couldn't go to the grocery store because they sell liquor there.  You know?

its ok to have pride of ones heritage but what i seen portrayed by the media it was way more than just heritage. They should of been holding the american flag. Why do they do this also on the 4th of July here in california...to me its an insult. They have holidays where they celebrate heritage, st patricks day, cinco de mayo. columbus day, day of the dead...ect but to do it when you are here illegally and demand rights in a protest is wrong i believe.  I dont get it. I think it was more than just being proud, it was INSULTING. Just my opinion.

You seem to be looking for something to be discriminated against.  If you miss your payments whether white, black, purple or green, they have the right to discontinue their services to you.\n\nSounds as though they gave you at least a couple of breaks and YOU chose to not do what is right and that is pay your bills on time.\n\nAnd yes I have the right to say this as I am Native American and damn proud of it and I don't feel discriminated because I pay my bills on time if not early !!

That sounds cool. No, I am alergic to the metal on the band so I don't wear them. Leather and plastic makes my arm itch too. So, I read the sun unless it is cloudy or night.

A lot of Mexicans from Mexico don`t know about cinco de mayo until they come to America..I think it`s great to celebrate all the holidays that make up America. Saint Patrick`s day is one of my favorites and I still don`t know what it`s about but everyone is Irish for the day,Green beer and corned beef n cabbage....Go and check out a Greek festival..or when the Portuguese celebrate holy ghost you have to try some soupish......I do know one thing No matter where you came from or how you got here everyone knows about the Fourth of July and why it is celebrated.....

I think that this is discrimination. This is one more way for the government to control our personal habits. \n\nGET ISSUE 4 ON THE BALLOT NEXT TIME - GET IT PASSED!!!!
