I don't think that's a very good response. I mean, yes, it happened, but if you separate out the fact that oil & gas construction jobs are some of the easiest, and best-paid jobs for low-skill workers anywhere, it really cancels it out.
So we can build these things, and we definitely won't be doing it with slaves. I don't see the big deal.
At the very least, people on the left should be able to see that, but the left has long stopped being about economic equality or mobility.
