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…
You’ve lost the plot. Or a troll.
