What's race got to do with it?

Money quote from The Workers Voice (Vol. 30 issue 6, Friday Jan 21, 2005) in an article entitled 'Worker: Berkeley site work done mostly by foreigners':

"The worker, who asked not to be named, told The Workers Voice that he has been hoping to once again be working full time on the site, said that the majority of workers there now are white foreigners." [Final italics mine]

If the place is using foreign workers when suitable Bermudian ones are available then there is a problem. But can someone enlighten me as to why the race of the foreign workers is relevant?
