Doesn't make you feel any better about the original claim or about the fact that the abuses took place?
To your first point: I have a problem with the unsourced claim that there have been 1000 instances in the past 10 years, which I could not find a source to confirm. To your second about which term I would prefer, I don't set myself up as an authority. But if the op meant 1000 people, he should have said 1000 people. I think it would be clearer than "instance." When I first read that, I wasn't sure if it means "a person" or "a case when a tomato farmer got busted." If the latter, then it would have been way more than 1000 people affected.
- matthewdgreen 6y agoA person being enslaved seems like a perfectly reasonable definition of an "instance of slavery." You turned up a source that seemed broadly consistent with this, and inconsistent with the "1,000 farmer busts" reading. Then you asked if the person was counting each person as an instance, which clearly they were. That's why I asked what the problem was.
