Besides which, Chicago local news (can't say if it was WBBM-- that's the call letters, not WCBS) *has* subtitled English speakers other than the Irish-accented, and I specifically remember a woman who spoke heavy Black English and had a dental problem (no teeth, maybe?) due to age. I agree the choices are sometimes weird, but I support the views of posters who think such policies are broadly condescending rather than specifically racist. Deborah Stevenson
