I don't have the link because I don't use :reddit-logo: anymore and a friend shared this with me so we could share the mental damage. So I'll share it with my fellow hexbears now.

      I don't understand how these people can look at themselves in the mirror and not feel some kind of visceral disgust for hiring, most likely, a black women from a foreign country with no options, to rear their children and clean their house while they're at work.

      How do they not see all the extremely obvious historical parallels? How do they not feel like a monster for doing this?

        From personal experience, albeit in the US so it may not be remotely similar, if the employer is a chud, its probably just racism and they think non-whites are naturally born to be servants. If they're a liberal, their entire world revolves around them being a good and virtuous person, so they frame it as being an opportunity provider(tm) and fly into a narcissistic rage if you dare question their motivations.

          I mean that's true, both examples, but there's definitely a third group of apathetic naive people that literally can't tell the forest from the trees and are really lazy

          I like your lib example though, you really do see that one a lot

        I think most of them get off to the idea because of the historical parallels.

          The real racist ones sure, but the rest are just really naive or actually believe they're providing people with a job opportunity.

            That's a blurry line for sure.

            Were the Clintons real or just naive racists with their "the help" in the governor's mansion?
