      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…

        This is racism you trump guzzling racist.

        Now take this little bedtime story to help you get to sleep at night and stick it in a bag, fart in it, take a deep whiff. Cuz I ain’t going to ever delude myself as hard as you do on how to get away with your shitty behaviour.
