Going to need a link. Are they claiming the member is a racist or the comments are?

+1 and why the most likely scenario IMHO is that it was a poor choice of words and she meant to say that it was only among meatpackers and not the general population and that therefore it does not require______________ for the general population. Let's see if she clarifies (and if that gets reported)

That is plausible for a one time mistake. Would have to look at her history to see if that is the case.

I can’t see how an objective person would construe that as racist.

Please explain what type of people meatpackers are if they are not regular folk?
Maybe she meant they were the top 1%?  :)

Point for: in small town livin, a major employer is often looked at as a separate entity from the rest of the people, eg. "Oh, he's a GM guy."

Point against: the county made English it's official language in 2002, so there's a little history there.

You ever live in a small town with a major employer? The employer is the town!

Actually, I'm very familiar with small town livin. And it depends how small the town is. The entire Brown County has roughly 250k people spread over 600+ square miles. The meatpacking plant is significant enough to be it's own entity without being "the" county.

Please. This isn’t the issue. The issue is vigilantes looking for racism where it doesn’t exist.
