She thought that he didn't really mean much by it since he signed if with warm regards. My husband told me that he probably set his signature that way and that it means nothing. It doesn't make the other comment less offensive at all. I would've been livid if this was me and I would've told him that what he said was inappropriate and I would've left a bad review on whatever site I could to warn other people to look out for him.

Therapists are not god.
Maybe this guy is the most racist human being ever to not-grace the face of this planet. But at the moment, what we have here is a second-hand account that a contractor couldn't fix something to her satisfaction, told her he couldn't, suggested they had 'cultural differences,' and signed it warm regards.
A therapist who knows nothing of the man but one e-mail has judged him heart and soul, and someone who is not even involved in this situation at all is now soliciting information on how to potentially destroy this guy legally and financially and via reviews of his business.
Over the two words, 'cultural differences.' When did 'cultural differences' become 'racism?' Is this a building project? Installing a floor, building a bathroom, renovating a kitchen? Does she want something done or built that's common in her culture but he doesn't know how to do it?
I personally know someone who put huge faith in feng shui and I can see this being something like a contractor saying, I CAN'T put a window there because of building codes, while the homeowner insists it
must be there.
This is a 'for instance,' saying that I don't see any 'racism' in 'cultural differences.' She may simply want something that is common and normal to her but he simply is unable to do it or doesn't have the knowledge or isn't 'getting' exactly what she wants, do to not being of her culture. This is not 'racism,' if something like this is the case, but two people who don't understand each other, and maybe someone else is a better fit for the project she wants done.
Honestly, I think what's happening here, soliciting ways to prosecute someone we know nothing about, with hardly a single concrete detail, is what the beginning of mob hysteria looks like.
The FIRST step should have been to have all the details.
