> Who is going to hire some rando non-english speaking guys from the 7-11 You know you didn't have to put non-english speaking in there, right? Totally unnece

  I think a case could be made in some situations that if your employees don't speak English and you don't speak whatever language they speak, you may get poorer construction outcomes. Even if the employees are experiences and smart.

  He obviously wanted to say Latin American but didn't have the courage. There aren't many teams of Finnish roofers running around America. The 7-11 bit is odd; construction laborers aren't usually known to congregate around convenience stores when looking for work. Usually it's a hardware store. I suppose he wanted to distance himself from that cliche by making himself seem unfamiliar with the finer details.

  Rolling my eyes here, bud. You’re missing the forest for the non-PC tree. I met someone who could have been described as a “non-English-speaking roofer.” (Not Latino, fwiw.) He says he was essentially enslaved by the guy running the contracting company, and he had no recourse as no one spoke his language. That’s the real issue, not phrasing quibbles
