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.
When you're so racist you kick out the slaves :oregon-cool:
Is the housekeeper/babysitter being exploited by underpayment, or is she prevented from leaving, or something? Are SA's new "hiring of foreigners" laws made to increase protection of migrant labor, rather than to prop up domestic wages? I think I'm missing a piece of context in understanding this.
It's just Trumpian nativism.
Xenophobia from white South Africans is funny. My brother in Christ, YOUR ANCESTORS were the savages coming from unknown lands to pillage and murder. You're not the one who has a right to be scared of foreigners in any situation.
as a white south african i can and will say at every point where south africans come up that they're the worst genre of white person followed by the anglo
Because they should totally send the immigrant back home? Because of nativism? This government is so Trumpian I can't even.
