Actually, a friend of mine worked at this GM plant. He died of cancer. Same age as me. We went to high school together. I come from a town that is majority white. Most of the employees at this GM plant were white. All these blue collar jobs in the factories are held mostly by white people. So you can shake your finger at them and claim white privilege for hiring mostly white people and them getting all these well-paying, UAW-back, GM jobs, or you can laugh at the years of exposure they get from working in a cancer causing environment.
I took a tour years ago, and the GM plant is a dirty environment to work in. They gave employees face masks so they don't breath in dirty air, but most of them didn't because it was super hot, and even hotter in the summer. They didn't build cars, they made car parts, so they poured the metal for engine blocks.
