Andrew Zimmern, "What's Eating America"..
#31
RE: Andrew Zimmern, "What's Eating America"..
Two quick questions, Brian:

1. How does my calling that woman’s question stupid equate to me ‘pissing’ on agricultural workers?

2. Can you point out where I said that no one looks down on agricultural workers?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

First off, that wasn't her question that was her ANSWER. She RIGHTFULLY SAID that congress would not last a day doing what she does. Dems would agree, the GOP would say "they are not citizens". 


Secondly, if you don't think that, then why are you questioning her response?

FYI the word is "migrants" not "agricultural workers".......  You do know who our president is? 

Trump doesn't give  a fuck about white farm owners or migrants who work for them. But the GOP damned sure panders to the hate of white anxiety which appeals to whites and discriminates against migrants "agricultural workers".

Her response was not stupid, it was accurate.

Yes, it was her answer, not her question (and you haven’t answered mine, by the way). I accept the correction. 

I think you may be confused about the difference between ‘migrant’ and ‘immigrant’. All immigrants are migrants, but not all migrants are immigrants. More words you should look up.

I am sorry, my computer doesn't have a "Closed Caption " for contrarians.

She was right, you are wrong.

"Migrant "immigrant" to the right is the same thing, the same fucking thing it was to bigoted Americans who feared the Chinese who helped build the railroads in the 1800s. "migrant" "immigrant" was the same fear Americans had with the Irish and Italians in the early 1900s. 

If you suddenly stopped using the Fox News slur "immigrant" and said "migrant" those assholes would still find a way to use "otherism" to get ratings.

And it still would not change that they work their asses off, with or without papers.

I didn’t say she was wrong, mate. I said her comment was stupid. 

‘Immigrant’ is not a slur. ‘Illegal immigrant’ probably is, though. And you’ve never seen me use either term in a derogatory manner.

I agree these people work hard. Brutally hard. Body-destroyingly hard. Did I give the impression that I felt otherwise? Whatever these people are being paid, it isn’t enough, not by a damned sight.

I don't know in my life how many responses on any subject that I agreed with I'd call "stupid".

If she was right I would hardly call it stupid. 

The only difference between Democrats and Republicans in congress, is that most democrats are willing to admit they don't want to do her work, and or can't do their work, and most Republicans simply want to deny they cant or wont, and even if they could do it, simply don't care and want the votes of asshole bigots.

Well, this was disappointing. Expected a foodie thread and got a lot of bitching instead.

But then I shouldn't be surprised by any of B37's self esteem and victim issues.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
