Female immigrants suffer abuse in food industry...

.....but who are the abusers?

In between serving gourmet Mexican sandwiches or running the cash register at a Lower West Side bakery, Mercedes, 26, endured an unwelcome aspect of her job that recently drove her to quit in disgust.

In a cramped restaurant kitchen, male co-workers greeted Mercedes with leers and sexually suggestive comments, grabbed her hand to kiss and lick while a male bakery owner watched and laughed, she said Friday at a conference to highlight such issues at the Chicago Cultural Center.

"When I would start cleaning, they would start grunting and making faces and say: `That's how I like my women,'" said Mercedes, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Mexico who spoke on the condition that her last name not be used.

Since they don't really mention what race/s these men are, and since Mexicans will do these jobs because Americans won't do them, can we assume that her attackers are all Mexican?

If they lick her hand before she makes a sandwich that's a health code violation.
