The full on racists went mask off.
Those who just want to keep wages up for a reasonable life realised it isn't really immigration or any race 'taking their jobs' but a capitalist plot to suppress wages further.
Speaking as someone who’s in a blue-collar workspace, and who has family in Trades, they do still think those people are ‘taking our jobs’; they just say it quieter because they know they’ll get in trouble with HR if they say it too loudly.
