Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) turned heads on Thursday, using a racial slur to describe Latinos.
Addressing the United States’ jobs situation in a radio interview with KRBD-FM, Young admitted that technology has impacted the market. In the process, he chose the term “wetbacks” to describe the workers his father employed.
“My father had a ranch; we used to have 50-60 wetbacks to pick tomatoes,” Young said. “It takes two people to pick the same tomatoes now. It’s all done by machine.”
