i mean, it doesn't seem exactly racist to point out that, in America, latinos aren't always offered especially fair employment opportunities, and they're often hired to do less glamorous jobs for people like Donald Trump?

people are treating this like Kelly Osbourne said that the only things Latinos can do are clean her toilets and buy her records

"i get what she meant" etc etc but c'mon, it's an insensitive and foolish thing to say when you're debating the issues on television"in America, latinos aren't always offered especially fair employment opportunities, and they're often hired to do less glamorous jobs for people like Donald Trump" is obvs different from "but who will clean your toilets"

someone from Glide posted in the comments:
I'm a Glide member and have participated at the grocery bag giveaway...This is something we're aware happens and, essentially, we turn the other eye intentionally because...1) We ensure that everyone that comes on time (and many that come late) get groceries2) This happens but its small number of people, relative to the thousands that are helped3) Many elderly Asian households in SF are well below the poverty line and depend on food and financial assistance4) The line takes a significant amount of time to get through; if they are desperate enough to wind through it multiple times for the small amount of money they will make selling them piecemeal on the street. Well, we've provided help to them tooIn the end, its a small thing that we don't really see as an issue at all. No we are not going to stamp peoples hands and shame those that come back. Its a pitty that for many here, the faint whiff of injustice (and really, beating on the poor for doing what they can to get by?) creates this animosity towards the poor in general.For fucks sake, we helped 6,000 to have a chance to have a holiday meal. Focusing on that.

the headline is specifically about "Asian" sellers, the article mentions that "most" are Asian...gross imo

Ugggh the racist posts in that thread are basically how my school's entire community talks about Asian immigrants. Somehow the Russians, Ukranians, etc etc white Christian immigrants aren't "lowering property values" but Chinese-Americans are. It's a really toxic stew around here.

A large department store-type property remains vacant for many years, until finally the Salvation Army rents it out. Now no businesses will occupy any of the other storefronts on that block or across from it because no one wants to be associated with people who shop at the Salvation Army (apparently not just suburban highschoolers and theater majors) or have them as customers. Churches with food pantries help only to their own congregation or those known to their congregations--they don't put signs up in public or seek to serve the general public. I walk into the school office and three people who work with children every day are complaining about Chinese immigrants, right in front of me, like it's perfectly normal. Eventually I'm going to need a way to wash my brain besides soaking it in wine.

Working here is like being a spy behind enemy lines basically. One wrong word and I'm kaput (or at least will have several months' worth of relationship repair work to do, as has already happened).

"shaming these ladies, who are mostly of Asian descent," -- ah the classic "racial ascription subclause," now a unique grammatical feature of the english language.
