Nice. Instead of accepting the risk yourself, you would thrust the
risk on someone else merely because he was born in another nation
(a nation that occupied much of the U.S. south-west and Pacific
coast until that area was seized in an act of war).

No, my ancestry is not Mexican; it's east European. But I know
that Spanish was spoken here in California long before English was
spoken. Even Russian was spoken here before English.


If you live in California, Arizona, New Mexico, or Texas and meet
someone whose ancestry is Mexican, remember: His or her family
might have been living here long before your own family crossed the
Atlantic.



OK, OK. I get your point. The Mexicans were probably here before we
were. OK. Hire a ****** instead. They came along later. Is that OK
with you now?

Your friend,
Betty Harris

Shame on you! We call them, "People of Diversity." (write that down so
you remember it)

Whoever cuts the grass on a steep slope, they should use a mower with a
2-cycle engine rather than 4-cycle so it doesn't starve for oil and burn up.

Best regards,

And they had better be bonded, and have workers comp insurance, or you can
kiss any equity in the property good-bye in the inevitable lawsuit when they
get hurt on your property following your direction.

No, you are not my friend. My friends are not bigots. In a moral
society, no level of discrimination -- no matter how small -- is
acceptable.

Maybe the sender of the original message in this thread should hire
a woman from Alaska with Bandini where her brains belong.

Don't worry. I won't reply to any more of your messages. All
messages from you are now filtered into my Delete folder before I
can read them.
