    differing skin tones/ethnicities are probably the laziest indicator of human trafficking to watch for.

    FTFY.

    This is the same attitude that gets minorities killed all the time, for “looking suspicious” while occupying their skin in the wrong place at the wrong time.

      Yes, easiest and laziest are basically synonyms in this instance. I assume they have other criteria before confronting people, and if not, that’s obviously problematic.

      Edit: Or maybe I’m being stupid. I don’t know, and my head is too foggy to think it through right now.
