Is This Racist?

Now. My wife and I have a cleaner that comes to our flat once a week. She is from South America (the cleaner - not my wife).

She does a great job cleaning our tiny flat partly because it's an easy flat to clean as it has been renovated and is shining and nicely put together - especially the bathroom.

On the bathroom wall is chrome heated towel rail. I'm not boasting when I say it's a fine looking piece. The strange thing is that every time we come home on a Thursday after she's cleaned NONE of the towels are on the rail. Instead they are all on the hooks we screwed into the back of the bathroom door...

And here's the racist bit:

I think it's because she's from a poor country (read: shit hole) and she believes that something that shiny and nice is more of a display item than a utility. She thinks, "why cover up Mr and Mrs shiny towel rail it look so nice."

(Okay so that part where I tried to write her accent - that was racist.)
