My presonal observation in the greater Washington, DC area is that “white, male constructions workers” are a distinct minority, as are black male construction workers.

The dominant ethnicity at DC Metro Area construction sites are Hispanic male construction workers. I’m willing to bet that this isn’t a peculiarity to Washington, either. New Orleans after Katrina, for instance.

Oh, and should I dare to mention that almost all of those non-white, non-black construction workers are here illegally (for those of us with a quaint desire to stick to that notion)?
