Now, imagine if that coal miner was an immigrant from India. The amount of racist remarks calling him 'typical Indian filthy slob' would be astounding.

I remember my uncle getting home at 8am after working night shift at the mines. He ran a big digger machine for 25yrs. We used to visit my aunt in the summer & he'd come home covered worse than that even, at times. He'd immediately go take a shower, while my aunt made him coffee & a big breakfast.

Fossil fuel carbon pollution producer should be his insult. Extractor of DEATH or Creator of DEAD HUMANS would be an accurate insult.

I get the message. What I don't get is how this man couldn't find 2 minutes to wash his face.

And his little boy sits on his lap breathing in the remnants of his father’s day at work.
