unfiltered words of ignorance?

i came across a christian property agent, telling his seller client to keep the altar away when there is a viewing for his buyer at the seller's house. the property agent's reasons: "it can bring a big difference to your asking price & you wouldn't want a black face figure staring at you when you enter the house right?"
tho i am a buddhist, not a taoist, sigh..... that was not a good comment after all in terms of showing mutual religious respect & tolerance to this multi-racial society. -
Why replies was -1 just now ?

i am just thinking it can also bring a big difference to the christian property agent's pay-cheque with an obvious seller's black face figure staring at him/her.
Did the seller change the property agent later?Originally posted by paperflower:i came across a christian property agent, telling his seller client to keep the altar away when there is a viewing for his buyer at the seller's house. the property agent's reasons: "it can bring a big difference to your asking price & you wouldn't want a black face figure staring at you when you enter the house right?"

but most people's weakness is greed.
unfortunately, do i call it fortunate or unfortunate i don't know, the seller stick with the same agent & perhaps they didn't wanna jeopardise any buying potential (cos they really need to sell their house) and not wanting to lose a super good property agent to market their house for them, so they did what he said.
what do i call this?
if that property agent comes to my house and sell my house and tell me to keep the altar away, i'd rather lose that agent.

Hai zz..... We are all becoming the victims of globalisation, driven by monentary gains and the obvious lacking of respect and mutual understanding.
