POLL: do you have mexicans mowing your lawn?

[Lifer]

it seems that everyone these days has a bunch of mexicans driving around a pickup truck with garden care equipment and riding lawn mowers doing their garden/mowing lawn/landscaping.

we used to use them for our lawn until we got our own

this is NOT a racist thread. it is a simple question and a serious one. i have been noticing them popping up in all different neighborhoods in similar pick up trucks in NY suburbia and was wondering if this happens in other parts of the US.
and also to see if any other ATOT'ers use the wonderful services that they provide us with.

ME at age 10 or so:

My mom and I drive up to an intersection, stop for a light. A public place to our right has a bunch of guys mowing the lawn with the huge mowers. Eyeing the gigantic mowing equipment that cuts large areas at a time, my mom says "that's what we need."

Me: "Yeah. A team of Mexicans."

 

[Konigin]

Yes.

I've heard that mexicans are starting to get offended by the handle of "mexican". They now want to be called "Spanish Americans".

Stupid mexicans.

That's pretty funny seeing as Spanish people are from Spain, not Mexico.

not the lawn, but I did have a team of hispanics do some rock work for me around the house Very satisfied with the work and they were $1300 cheaper than the other white people that bid for the job

[roncarter]

Yea we use too..

 

[FrogDog]

Wow, almost 33% of people with lawns have Mexicans mowing them! How weird!

 

[brtspears2]

Yup, they do a good job and are like 35% cheaper than a white counterpart.

 

[Dacalo]

I mow our own

 

[idNut]

Well, I'm sure as sh!t not making it up. They said it on Channel One, the cheap-"hip"-teenage-high-school way of getting the "news" across to teenagers.

 

[Platypus]

Why would you ask that?

 

[TommyVercetti]

Mexicans mowing lawns? Is this the new "in" thing?

Hardly, people in Beverly Hills have been doing it for years.

The politically correct term (at least in my part of the south) is "Hispanic", but most people say "mexican"
