> the data suggests that OP's view is not unreasonable

The data uses a relative comparison of migrant deaths to overall death rate for Saudi Arabia. You are looking for something to console you that "actually the slaves aren't dying at high rates". I'd like to see this death rate for the subset of the SA population that matches migrant demographics, ex: age and gender. Then we can see what the comparable death rates are for healthy young men.

> Your comment uses charged language like "asshole"

I said I wasnt an asshole to preface that I genuinely meant what I said.

> "literal slaves"

They are literally slaves this is factual.

> "justify/intellectualize the deaths"

Again, factual. You yourself claim that you are trying to be unemotional and analyze the situation as I described, "academically".
