🥓🤬 #Adnan from #DanmarksRadio interviewed #JeppeBlochNielsen, head of #DanishPigProducers about #racism. It is unbelievable.

▶️🇩🇰 Video in Danish: https://veganism.social/@veganguide/117378536839294344

📜🇬🇧 Translation:
Jeppe: I feel that we as pig producers are victims of racism.
Adnan: May I please tell you: You're Danish speaking skills are excellent!
Jeppe: So are yours, so there's not a big difference.
Adnan: I'm not a racist. I have friends who are farmers.
Jeppe: I'm the exact opposite of racist ...
[Loud scream from pigs]
Adnan: Not to be racist but there seems to be someone who is protesting that you will make them into bacon? Could you please explain to our viewers why you are the victim of discrimination and not your pigs?
Jeppe: That is because I feel that we as conventional pig producers are a minority. When we are being shamed specifically then I feel that is racist towards me as a pig producer.
Adnan: I feel the same way. Just because I'm brown, people think I get economic support from the state. It's the same with you, except that's not prejudice.
Jeppe: That's massive prejudice. I receive zero economic support for my pig production.
Adnan: You don't receive economic support?
Jeppe: I get zero kroner in subsidies for my pig production.
Adnan: Do you get anything else?
Jeppe: Not for my pig production.
Adnan: Do you get anything else?
Jeppe: I receive EU subsidies for my plant production.
Adnan: So you are on part-time subsidies?
Jeppe: To the extend that I have to provide cheap food for the Europeans.
Adnan: I've noticed that all your pigs are skin-coloured.
Jeppe: Yes, but some of them tried to make themselves dirty so you wouldn't feel excluded.
Adnan: Feel excluded, what do you mean?
Jeppe: Rolling around in shit and in hay.
Adnan: What's that got to do with me?
Jeppe: ...
Adnan: What?
Jeppe: I don't know.
Adnan: But you said they made an effort for me by rolling around in shit. Could you explain?
Jeppe: So we wouldn't feel excluded.
Adnan: "We" ?
Jeppe: We. As i told you, I have employees and sows who roll around ...
Adnan: ... in shit?
Jeppe: No, it's not shit. It's filth. Not the employees.
Adnan: Do you think these here like you?
Jeppe: Yes, I'm absolutely certain they do.
Adnan: I think they like me more. Because I don't turn them into bacon. Also, I don't eat them.
Jeppe: Well, that's true.
Adnan: I can see here that you practice circumcision.
Jeppe: Some of them have had the end of their tail docked.
Adnan: Is that for religious reasons?
Jeppe: It's a necessary evil for preserving animal welfare.
Adnan: Being circumsied myself, I can tell you there's no harm in that.
Jeppe: I can only observe that there are some politicians on ...
Adnan: You should try it. It didn't hurt. What I think is the most racist in this is that if you were so heavily regulated then someone will be losing their jobs. Those are Eastern Europeans and Africans ...
Jeppe: That is racist.
Adnan: ... because your employees are ..?
Jeppe: ... also not Danish. I have some dark skinned employees.
Adnan: Dark how?
Jeppe: If the lights go out, they have to remember to smile.
Adnan: And that's not racism?
Jeppe: Exactly.
Adnan: Because you are the victim of racism?
Jeppe: Exactly.
