I had a roof replaced for a long time client a couple of weeks ago. The owner of the company was Caucasian. The crew had a young black man as the foreman and the rest appeared to be Mexican. The young black man was extremely courteous to me and to his workers. The Mexican men were very very verbal, kidding each other and the foreman constantly, including the subject of race. I did not see any tension but I suppose it may have been there just under the surface. They all worked very hard and with a lot of skill. I was impressed.
