Latino/Latina Vignette #2

A white woman sees a construction crew starting to build something across the street from where she works.  She sees a few men standing in a circle who appear to be the crew-- one is a red-haired man with freckles, the others appear to be Latino.  Curious about what is being developed there, she approaches the group.  Assuming that the red haired man is the foreman, she asks what is going to be built.  Behind her, a man with a heavy Latino accent answers in a friendly voice, “I just bought the property.  I'm building one house for my family and two other houses to be sold.”

Questions for the reader:  How would you have felt if it were
you who had asked the question to the red haired man?
