Is it racist to hire Mexicans to do yard work? ?

Based on the fact that they are so good handling those gas powered yard tools (leaf blowers, edgers, etc).

    No, unless you are hiring them JUST because they are Mexican and not because they do good work.

    No. You can hire whoever you want without explaining yourself or justifying it to anyone

    No, Its work and its money. My friend is white and he has a lawn care buisness and he worked alone at first. He needed help and no one else wanted the job. People who say mexicans are stealing jobs are crazy. Unless you are refering to plants and union jobs. In that respect they were driving down union pay. I worked with mexicans in a meat plant for 2 years. It was a great place to work with good people next to you . I was one of the only whites. What else are the gonna do. be ceo's . Nope. Hire them.

    No, unless you hire them just because they are mexican. Yard workers of all races chose that job of their own free will so why would it be racist to hire them?

    No, no offense to them, but they are just about all you can find that is not lazy to do yard work. They are very hard working people, they are never afraid to work.
