OH SHIT, I almost forgot. He didn't lose all his customer base. What about the bosnians. They'll pay loads of money for shit. All he has to do is cater to them and he may have a successful business.That's incredibly racist! why not say that black people are automatically thugs or that jewish people are tight with money, or that asians only know how to do computers! Racist punks!

Well, if he is smart.. He'll try and market not just the local area.. Depending on what all he does, but for most cases, labor is where the $$ is at.. Maybe he can try and swing in other customers with other ideas for cars... Not just an import scene in generalll..
Ex:'s.. OilChanges, Detailing, Tune-Ups, Get contracts w/ Audio Dealers, Accessories, etc
Anyways, the $$ needed to start a business is quite high; esp. since he'll have to make a name for himself and that could take a long time.. How are you going to pay your employees if your not getting business?? Some loans will be needed, insurance, and purchase of tools, and have stock of whatever else you try and sell... The list goes on..
But I question myself. medium cust. service and great work vs. great cust. service and medium/poor work.. I'd take the med. cust/serv over the great cust/serv and med/poor work, cuz the work is permanent, the cust/serv is just how you feel about the place. -

I wanted to go into hiding but christ, when asians are making mexican comments then you know this shit is wrong! You would think that the asians would band against that retarded thinking. Racism is rampant in f/m area, even among us minorities

saying that bosnians tend to spend a lot of money...is not racism...

I don't think an asian can be racist, (except against whites). we are a minority in the fm area, so it's tough.

Im coming into this conversation a lil late.... but I agree with what most of you said about upsetting the customer base and starting up a lil drama. A few years ago there was a shop in Minot that did the samething.... they lasted the summer. Troy and Blake will know exactly who Im talking about. The stories sound very similar.
I also agree jumping into flooded market may not be a wise decision, but its your money do as you wish... I hope all works well. I've got a idea brewing in my head but Im worried about competition as well. Not really from anyone in fargo, but from people online.

Um...pretty sure ANYONE can be racist. If you are of one race, and are speaking about another race, what you say can potentially be racist. You could even be racist against your own race. It has nothing to do with who is the minority/majority in a particular area. -

I think you have a mis-conception of the Asian population. If you've ever been to any cities with large asian populations you'll find the uneducated are just as racist as any other similar group.
Being the minority in a population doesn't mean that your not racist, it just means you have a better chance of being misunderstood.
Again, to be objective you can never group people as a race, only as individuals; there are too many variables invovled.

dont start... you say bosnians are a minority i think it is almost even.
at the same time what jim said about grouping people, and looking a person as a person all his own is right to -
I use to be in a club with him. he left before me and went with some other people. He can come off very cocky but you just cant let it get to you.
i dont have a problem with him trying to do something with his life. I just think it would be smarter to try to start somewehre else where there isnt a shop already. Maybe in the wahpeton area or something like that.
Well, i guess we can just kick back, let him do what he wants and see how it goes. It will be tough to get anything going around here since everyone is pretty much stuck on the few shops we have.

This just in:
Bosnian = country, not a race.
They are Southeastern Europeans, geographically speaking.
Slandering them b/c they are Bosnian is no different than me making fun of the French (who deserves it, by the way).
Race is based on the color of one's skin and ancestry. Not where you call home.

Why not drop the racial nonsense in this thread because it is off topic for one, and complaining and putting someone else in there place is only going to fuel more emotion on the subject and start more drama in this thread. If you want to keep on about the pros and cons why not start a new thread. Sorry to be all admn. in here but WTF can we as a group try and stay on topic without bs arguing for once in this forums existence.
