OK, now try telling the story without embellishment.


I swear to the diety of your choice, there is no embellishment.

I think if it was a guy, I might have reached accross the counter and strangled him.

But, as a back story, I had a lot of clients who would make comments about "Katrina people" in my presence who had no idea I was from NOLA.

There was a lot of hatred towards NOLA people from Houston people in those days.

This. My bank opens the rolled coins and runs them through their coin machine unless you got the rolled coin from them.

Our local credit union has a machine that counts the coins and gives you a slip to take to the teller. No charge.

After Katrina, we moved to Katy, TX. We were banking with Hibernia, which was in the process of changing over to Capital One, and they had a branch that wasn't too far away. They had a coin machine that I had used a couple of times. One day, maybe a year after the storm, I go in, and the machine is gone. Just an empty space where it was. So I go up to the banker that is sitting nearby and I inquire as to where the machine went. She proceeds to tell me: "Oh, we had to get rid of it. It kept breaking. You know, we have a lot of those Katrina people that unfortunetly have moved here and wanted to use the machine, and they kept breaking it, because they had dirty smelly Katrina money, and they were too stupid to figure out how to use the machine. I'm sorry, I wish they would not have come and broken it." I guess they figured because I was white, educated, and well-dressed, there was no chance I lost my home in Katrina. Stunned, I think I said "OK", turned around, walked out, walked accross the street to a Wells Fargo, and opened up an account, and moved everything over to them.


This sentiment was prevalent throughout the country in places that took in Katrina refugees at that time. I heard the same thing in places as far off as the Twin Cities.

I'm kind of surprised you would find it offensive if you're not in the same general category as the people she was referring to.
