You wake up one day and you get ready for work, eat a light breakfast, and take your usual drive to start your day, never understanding that you are about to be transformed into a racist. While at work a down on their luck, hard working couple from Mexico breaks into your home and move in. When you come home after a long day you discover the couple cooking some food in your kitchen and you are surprised. You attempt to talk to them but obviously they do not speak English so you call your next door neighbor because you know he speaks Spanish and after some time with them talking he turns to you and tells you that they are poor people who need your help and they will be living with you from now on.
You stand there not really believing what was just said and you tell your neighbor that these people can't stay in your home, that you feel bad they have some hardships but you can't take responsibility for their lives when you have your own problems to deal with. You neighbor looks at you funny, then says, You know Bob, I didn't know you were a racist.
Suddenly you can feel a little uneasy and even a little angry, you wonder at how this guy can call you a racist just because you don't want someone breaking into your home and living off you so you try to explain that this has nothing to do with race, your just not capable of taking responsibility for fixing the broken lives of strangers who break into your home. But that has your neighbor on the phone and before you know it, you now have 30 Latino people on your lawn with signs all calling you a racist.
"Bob is a racist" is chanted in your front lawn and your neighbor is sitting down to eat a meal with the people who have taken over your home while all you can do is ask yourself a question, how did I become a racist?
Feeling tired and mentally shredded you sit down in your favorite chair and as you start to watch the news, you hear a great commotion at the dinner table where your new "guests" are eating their meal so you get up to see what is happening. As you enter the room your neighbor comes to you and says the wife is about to have a baby and you need to take her to the hospital, and just as you have them loaded up and start to drive away from what used to be your home, the neighbor leans over to you and says, I hope you have insurance, your going to have to pay for the baby being born.
