What a total asshole!
Man defends 'no foreigners' sign in front yard, neighbors voice concern
MASON, Mich. (WILX) -- James Prater doesn't see a problem with refusing to sell his house in Mason, Michigan to someone who meets his definition of "foreigner."
"Foreigner is not a protected class under the constitution. It's not. It's an outsider. It's not a race. It's not an origin. It's not a religion. It's not sex, and its not a creed. It's an outsider," said Prater.
And by "outsider" Prater said he means a liberal, a globalist and a terrorist.
"If somebody cannot understand what the definition of foreigner is, and they keep calling me a racists or a bigot, that's their own problem," he said.
Several of his neighbors do have a problem with it.
Vaughn Hale is just one of the people who's sick of seeing the sign. He said it gives people the wrong impression of their neighborhood.
