  1. whichever of these ethnic groups you hire to do your renovation, ask them to show that they’re properly licensed and also ask to see proof of liability and workers’ comp insurances. I’m sure they’ll be happy to comply.

  2. it is discriminatory to call a mexican person a mexican?

    ridiculous

    is it discriminatory to call an italian person italian?

    what planet are you on

    op: mexicans are cheaper but chinese are higher quality

  3. doesn’t anyone find it curious that there are contractors out there that are ALL Chinese, or ALL Mexican, or ALL Irish, or ALL Polish ?? No diversity there at all.

    Trying to identify a contractor by a ethnic component may not be discriminatory, but rather looking at the reality of different types of contractors appealing to different market segments and different price points. And the reality is that these contractors apparently choose to discriminate to “their own kind” and exclude others.

  4. don’t you get it, calling a mexican person “mexican” is not PC. and
    “chinese”? how dare you!!

    i bet people don’t even know exactly why they are offended.

  5. i really don’t understand the hate.
    not putting anyone down, but its pretty clear that labor is cheaper when hiring either mexicans, chinese etc.

    dont get your panties in an uproar, this is ridiculous
    like no one here has ever hired a mexican for the price of the work, c’mon please

    i would hire any company i could, but like i said i’m on a BUDGET
    I spent over 1M on this property and need it reno’d asap

    whatever, i’m not gonna try and defend or explain~

  6. op, here,
    not sure what all the fuss is, not trying to discriminate or put anyone down with epithets
    just looking to do a cheap reno and save some money
