It's not calling someone "stupid" too suggest that people who come from another country may not be familiar with the food safety standards here. It's not as if those standards are universal. It is indeed the case that often immigrants don't know that some of their traditional practices won't be acceptable under their local food code.

I'm asking a question of someone who seems to have more experience. Not making any sort of judgement.

The intent is to figure out the best way to serve the public. Regulations are a common way that immigrants get screwed, and I would like to prevent that.

I'm just saying that thinking this is racist is uneducated (or even stupid) on multiple levels.

Maybe read the definition of racism again?

calling Immigrants stupid, and suggesting that they need education camps like Canada, U.S, and the british empire did to natives and black people, is indeed a racist thing to say.

Show me in their comment were they said either of those things.

Why are you forcing 'camps'? Why not something realistic like a short online Udemy-style course in order to get a restaurant license?

Help to educate people that don't have experience with local food regulations so that they don't get fined? Must be racist!

I’m not saying I’d make the same comment but you’re projecting so much onto what they’re saying.

Asking if people don’t know American regulations because they’ve recently moved to America and saying if so it would be good to inform them of regulations is a pretty benign take. I don’t think they worded it great to be fair but god damn, you’re making a mountain out of a mole hill talking about colonial education camps.
