I worked in a company that over the years switched from primarily white to hispanic truck mechanics. Every single hispanic mechanic at one time or another was found to have tools in their box that did not belong to them. Am I racist to believe that hispanic mechanics seem to have a problem with stealing tools and supplies. I think not! All of our black mechanics proved out to be extremely honest.
