No. As usual you read something out of my writings that was not there.
I said the Mexican (Hispanic) workers are about the only ones that will do manual labor anymore. At any reasonable price. You don't know if they are illegal or not when you hire them because many have a fake social security card, or fake green card.
You might get them to show up for a job, but getting them to work is another story. :roll:
The boy didn't care. It was his mother that was racially biased. She must have been about as bright as you, too. :lol:
No, I think that mother probably had you figured out. They were probably tired of kissing people's butt who thought they were better than them.
I have seen LOTS of people of color ---all colors--- work. It is a matter of how much you pay and how consistently you pay it.
Your racial bias is just that.

There has been an amazing and subtle change here in Washington DC. One that Mike would not like perhaps. I was checking out at my doctor's office and looked at the Obama mousepad of one of the women who make appointments. I continued talking the the woman (black) who does the appointments for my doctor. My perception of interactions nowadays is that a chip has fallen from their collective shoulders and they don't assume that we expect them to kiss butt and they suddenly realize that we're both just people who can be expected to treat each other with respect.
This is a pretty great city that way anyway, at least in my little suburb/town it is in spite of the disparity of incomes, we all mix it up in our local schools and nowadays in our businesses as well.
I believe we'll reap the rewards of that in a decade or two with lower prison populations and crime. But first we still need to worry about teenage pregnancy, inner city education, etc.
