Seeing wealthy ppl joke about not being able to do laundry or get themselves a glass of water, is so gross to me.

For the love of Stalin these ppl need to be put in gulags / re-education centers asap.

    It’s also incredibly common in Latin America and not just among the wealthiest echelon. And it’s nearly always lighter Latinos employing darker-skinned.

    There’s the classic attempt at justifying it as well, that maids are “part of the family”, with a lot of them (in the wealthier houses) living either full-time or part-time in the house they clean.

      You ever see the movie Roma? I’d love to see someone do an ML analysis of that film… iirc it tries to do the same thing (IE “humanize” the class subordination of the main character, who’s a maid working for a wealthy family). I saw it way later, so I have no idea about the communist discourse around the movie.

        I haven’t, but it looks like I’m going to have to add it to my to-watch list
