@GreensCornbreadYams racist, but funny

@AbbySvenz would you pay them for that job?
AbbySvenzF
@SW-User of course, but not nearly as much as some garage....
SW-User
@AbbySvenz That's exploitation. Getting sexual favors from a female illegal immigrant in return for not reporting her (may be throw a couple dollars) is qualitatively the same, may be at different level, but indeed another example of exploitation.

@SW-User lol
AbbySvenzF
sorry, did I miss the part earlier in the conversation about sex? or the part where any kind of threat about reporting them was mentioned in return for any work done? 'cause I'm pretty sure neither of those were ever even considered as part of the deal to begin with....

@AbbySvenz why should they not charge you the same rate as a representative from a garage?
MartinTheFirst26-30, M
@AbbySvenz They can't convict you a racist on simply what you said, so they have to make a story up in their heads so they can social-justice-warrior-cum all over you.
AbbySvenzF
@SW-User because they're not dicks?
SW-User
@MartinTheFirst you're not a racist because you are exploiting someone for their situation. well the rest of what you wrote is just as meaningful.
@MartinTheFirst
Dude that is nasty
SW-User
@AbbySvenz really, if they charge a fair amount that makes them a dick? hmm, interesting.

@Aliveshock I guess I have a bit south-park in me
AbbySvenzF
@SW-User you have a choice between three garages to do the work, each one with a different estimate for the same job. which one do you pick? which one is asking for the"fair amount"?
@MartinTheFirst
I didn鈥檛 know the Nordic countries had Southpark heritage.

@Aliveshock now you know

@Aliveshock it carries on the maternal side, and skips every few generations

@AbbySvenz There's usually a basic minimum any one would charge for the work given there were no immigrants around. Usually unions work to decide such rates taking into account inflation and other factors. If you were ready to pay them this amount then your original statement would be vacuous. Your original statement indicated that you expect them to charge less because they were immigrants.
AbbySvenzF
Right. it has nothing to do with the fact that they do good work, don't over-charge for parts, have a better rate for their labor, or that they're good neighbors.馃檮

@AbbySvenz being a very fair person has not much to do with being an illegal immigrant. Your saying 'who else will fix my car' conveys more the idea that you expect they charge less because of being immigrants than the idea that illegal immigrants are nice and fair people who almost always tend to charge less or that they're very generous neighbors-the reason yiu think they're preferable choice for fixing cars.
AbbySvenzF
Does it? Or is it just a continuation of a joke my neighbor made after he fixed my car?
