What is the summary or conclusion of this debate?

Do you agree with the thesis that there is a double standard regarding the textile worker, that is, that we are less willing to accept and take an interest in their oppression the more it involves racialized and/or non-Western people?

The prospect of building a mass social movement must first come to terms with the colonial and racist past that permeates Western culture today. Cultural, and often geographical, distance can lend themselves as causes for the lack of involvement of many people in the issue. Sometimes, even those who are personally committed to the cause may tend to take a position of "(white) savior" in their approach to activism in this sense. It is by decolonizing the gaze on the condition of the textile worker, in his own and in other territories, that it is possible to create a broad, solid and unspoiled movement, as we propose. But what tools and techniques do we give ourselves to deal with this issue, both externally and internally?
