I interpret your story as the American workers thinking "wow, I'm not getting paid enough to deal with this s***."

I also interpret your story as the children of immigrants realizing "wow, I'm not going to be paid enough to deal with the s** * my parents deal/dealt with." So they find a way to get a tech job or desk job.

One could just as easily denigrate the children of immigrants as being lackadasical, but that's not necessary. Why denigrate people?

I'm not sure where the denigration is?

> to work a lot of lower wage

> all the American workers were pretty lackadaisical, while the Mexicans worked pretty hard
