You’d think a multi-millionaire wouldn’t have much to find sad and disturbing in the world, but here we are...
I think Amfo’s saying that the Oompa Loompas were inspired by post-WW2 worker settlement programs as opposed to slavery. See the Windrush Generation as an example:

Yes, it’s foolish to interpretively politicize everything. Wonka is actually very much a truthful moralist hiding underneath his oddness (he keeps his word to Charlie, too, even though he didn’t need to). If he said he invited the Oompa-Loompas to be free of their horrible land, I’ll take his word for it. Besides, the…

I’ve got nipples, could you milk me?
Life is pretty hearty. Single-celled organisms could be fine. Maybe we’ll get moonfall 2: the re-evolution of man
Nobody gives a shit what you think. Just want to make that clear.
