That's gotta have been awful. I find it sad to think that a random person's reaction to seeing a Hispanic man mowing his lawn is to assume that they've been hired. And #11, The psychological concept still is a racist concept, even if inbuilt, the desire to live with one's own race is based on race. Thus racist by definition. And I agree that statistically there are a large amount of Hispanics who do manual labor, but that's like assuming somebody's Christian just because the majority of the people in the United States are.

While this does suck and was most likely a case of assumptions based on race, I'm sure the women meant no harm. Had she said something racist, she deserves your wrath, but as it is she made a dumb assumption. Correct her so she can learn and move on.

racist bitch

#31 - Maybe the woman did know that he lived there. If she was his neighbor she may have seen him moving his stuff into his new house. The OP doesn't give you both sides of the story here. Maybe this was her way of making him feel welcomed in the neighborhood. Maybe she was up all night practicing that one line of spanish just to make him feel like she cared. I commend her for wanting to try and speak spanish to him. I am a white male, and I am pretty fluent in spanish. Every single person that I have spoken to in spanish has commended me for having the courtesy of learning their language because so often it's them that has to learn ours to be understood.

@#19 You obviously don't know what you're talking bout...slavery was widespread across the world and it wasn't only the white people...also conquering part...it's not like people in Africa didn't try to conquer other tribes the same goes to Indian tribes...it's a natrual law...the stronger rule over the weaker...and i'm not saying it's right or wrong it's just how it is. I can imagine how the OP felt...however all the stereotypes come from somwhere and someone in the past "worked hard" for them to become stereotypes All you Americans love to scream someone is racist it's the trendy thing now...the whole political correctness is bullcrap... AND just before someone starts tossing that word at me...I have friends of many races so just suck on that...

#10 that would be such an awesome payback idea.

Grow some thicker skin.

Was she blond?

This was mentioned on a George Lopez episode! Oh, and why is it wrong to assume that the person mowing a lawn is hired? If it's a nice neighborhood you won't find many people who do their own lawns, I know most of our street had landscapers and sometimes you just want a new one. Options people, options.

Congratulations on your new home purchase OP. Best of luck to you.
