I don't see it that way at all. I'm married to a gal of Mexican decent (both
parents born there), and his post didn't bother me at all. I showed her, and
she didn't see what the big deal was. It's a fact that Home Depot has
signage in both English and Spanish...maybe a company wide policy? Why you
think someone is a bigot for pointing that out is beyond me.

Why don't you take a look at the percentage of whites to hispanics in the
construction trade... nationwide. 20 years ago it was more whites than
hispanics. Today, it's the opposite. Trust me, I know... I'm a General
Contractor in CA. Does it bother me? Not one bit. I don't care who works for
me as long as they put in an honest days work for their pay. I guess I'm now
a bigot for pointing out the facts and employing some of them?

They all have real SSN's? There's nothing wrong with that. It's your
ass if they are illegal or supply you with fake ID.
