2. naw . . .
if they're willing to work for below minimum wage and work in unsafe conditions and not have things like worker's comp or safety measures or insurance or fair labor standards .....

I mean, what's to worry about working in a sweatshop if it means you can send $$ home so your kids can actually EAT?

Ooops, Dad lost his hand or an eye? Oh well, don't have to report it cause he's not even legal. Too bad. So sad.

Naw. Not exploitation at all.

Kinda like all those black folks back in the 50's. If Massa wanted to pay you less because of your skin color - well - so what? Least it was a JOB, right? Better than not having a job at all, now wasn't it?
