It's not unlike you describing the neighbors who laughed at you after mowing your lawn mower cover as your Mexican neighbors. You actually referred to them as "your Mexican neighbors" several times. Why are you so focused on those things.
Why not the man on the garbage truck or my neighbors?
Let's not get into your Japanese ex-wife, we've heard that story. That's just another way you point out race in your little cutesy posts.
I referred to him as a "black guy" because he was.
If he had been a "white guy" I would have said the same thing, and considering the crappy pay anyone gets doing that, my bet would have been the same response.
I find nothing "cutesy" about anything when I talk about how America still has yet to face our inequity.
Does it bother you that a white person accepts the inequality that exists?
You pointing out "black man", "my Mexican neighbors", my "Japanese ex-wife" tells a lot about you.
And you would NOT have specified "white guy".
I'm your huckleberry.
