ABSTRACT
Yeah, there’s always going to be prejudice, but it’s not that bad here. Everyone’s in the same boat. Everyone gets sweaty, dirty, and smelly.
—A young Cuban American carpenter.Pretty soon there’ll be no whites in this trade. It won’t be worth it. You can’t make a living. You can’t buy shit—a nice house, a new car. Shit, you can’t even go on a fucking trip when you get time off. Pretty soon the fucking Cubans and sambos will take it over. They know how to live on less.
—A middle-aged Anglo carpenter.
