Racism and or bigotry call out thread (excludes members).

I’ll let you figure that out.

I already did. She strikes me as the female version of the good old boy.
I was looking for your explanation.

Regular folk = the average person who does not belong to the sub-group affected by the anomaly.

Example:
"Amex accounts are getting shut down with no explanation."
"What? Where did you hear this?"
"Well, a lot of guys on DDF are reporting closures."
"Oh, those are DDFers. What about regular folk?"

Here, employees of the meat-packing plant are experiencing an anomaly: a high rate of infection and deaths from Covid-19. It begs the question: What about the rest of the people?

Could have been worded better, but not racism or classism or any other kind of discrimination.

I found nothing wrong with what she said. People have to stop jumping and deliberately misconstruing hyperbolic statements.

No the first question should be why. The answer is simple. Poor safety just like other meat plants.
G-d forbid if the workers were Jewish. The anti-Semitic thread would go ballistic!!!

If it were Jews, it would be the Jews' fault. If it were blacks, it would be racism.

Did all the employees belong to a specific race? I missed that part.

Here we go again. It does not matter the minority, it was wrong. A concept many here don't understand.

The overwhelming of the workers are minorities. Now you get the picture?

Are you all done making pretzels? You are going to have many more opportunities.

Check out the meat packing plant that Jewish guy owned.
What difference does it make anyway. You going to say it was racist if the majority of the workers were minorities?

So you don't even know?? I think you assuming meat-packers are minorities is racist AF. Pot, meet kettle.

You are being completely dishonest. It makes no difference to you if they are minorities or not.

Race shouldn’t theoretically be a problem either. Is it okay to discriminate against people because of their occupations?

[CountValentine]

Of course not.

First you assume I think housekeepers are "dirty" something.
Now you assume I think meat-packers are minorities.
You sir have a problem.
For the record I heard of the makeup of the workers on the news. I was going to do a Google search but realized it would make no difference to you.

Excluding members from this thread is like banning cotton candy at a carnival

I'm curious to see how many automatically assume the same knee jerk position. Was actually waiting for you to show up there

Think we are talking about two different things.
