Contractors are licensed by the state. If in fact he is biased towards her because of race or culture a lawyer will let her know her rights. At the very least she should follow-up with a letter to the ABA which will impact his rating with them and review him on YELP.

While we may not know all the details if she is unhappy with the service she received she is within her right to complain.

That he feels he cannot do the job MAY NOT have anything to do with color. This is a HUGE assumption, and frankly, what you quoted is full of assumptions, a sweeping generalization, and highly offensive,

That a guy thinks he can't do a job to her satisfaction and 'bias toward her race or culture' are two totally different things. If he had such a bias, would he have agreed to work for her in the first place?

If she is unhappy with his work, she is within her rights to complain.

But I don't believe anyone is within their rights to start labeling people racist without facts. WHICH ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY MISSING IN THIS THREAD.
