Referring to people who work with food as food workers is not racist. They did not “call” illegal immigrants food workers, they said of the food workers, about 20% happen to be illegal immigrants.
Further, it made no statement suggesting that’s all that illegal immigrants do.
There’s no ethnic/racist meaning in saying that the food industry is in no small part upheld by illegal immigrants.
Now you could say it’s screwed up that we’ve baked into things the assumption of a sub-legal labor class for the purpose of affordability, implicitly to skirt labor laws. However calling people who work to facilitate food “food workers” is so far away from the problem, particularly when it makes no assertion that there’s only one race doing the job nor an assertion that’s all that ethnicity does…
As opposed to auto workers, tech workers, healthcare workers, etc?
Do you assign race to that particular job and then talk about how they’ll get deported as a threat? Cuz if you do you’d be a racist.
No? Why would you when apparently only 20% of farm workers are illegal immigrants from Latin America?
You’ve lost the plot. Or a troll.
