Raceless Accusations
Miscellaneous | Indiana, USA
(One of my bosses is talking to me about a group of legal Mexican workers on our job site.)
Boss: “Look at all them being lazy, taking our jobs.”
Me: “Actually, we’ve been here for a month and we’re two and a half weeks behind. They’ve been here a week and they’re close to being done.”
Boss: “Well, I’ll bet they’re all illegal.”
Me: “They had to show their green card to the job site supervisor over there. I asked their boss.”
Boss: “How’d you ask that him? I bet he can’t even speak English!”
Me: “Actually, all but two of them speak pretty good English. I think one of them was even born in America.”
Boss: “Well d*** it! Could you just let me hate them?!”
