Saw something interesting this morning.

Today is Wednesday, Trash day where everyone leaves their bins outside so the trash collectors can collect the trash/recycling/cuttings etc.

What I saw amusing when I walked the pup was this one blue recycling bin. Someone taped a sign to the side of it with the word BASURA on it. From looking at the overflowing trash in the recycling bin, I'm guessing they had a big party and the trash bin was filled to the brim.

I can't remember what ethnicity the people who are living in the house are. Maybe they are Hispanic and put the sign in spanish just randomly? Or they did it because they know the trash drivers are hispanic, or Im just labeling stereotype and assuming they trash drivers are hispanic. Or the people in the house are stereotyping and thinking the trash people are hispanic.

Food for thought.

recycling, trash, stereotype
