A Kinder, Gentler Website

…to explain stereotypes to those of you who live and die by them.

…”I hope it causes people to pause, and question stereotypes.”
The two are working on a series of short films for the site designed to do just that.
In one, a Hispanic man is mowing the lawn of a giant home in an affluent neighborhood. A blonde pulls up in a BMW and asks the man how much he charges to landscape the home.
He replies, “Why would I charge to landscape my own yard?” An on-screen message appears: “I am an American.”

You should be ashamed of yourselves. Group hug, group hug.
Now, go be better people…

    Like anyone who lives in an “affluent neighborhood” would actually mow thier own yard.
