So according to the school of social work, the word "field" is only offensive to the blacks and Latinos, because they or their ancestors worked there. This is a indirect way of saying that *only* blacks or Latinos work in the fields.
This "anti-racist" policy is, itself, racist. Kind of like Pelosi saying we need illegal immigrants to pick our grapes. I know plenty of white folks who have worked in a field - and even more whose ancestors did. But they, of course, won't be offended because... ummmm... I dunno? Maybe white folks are more resilient? Or maybe white folks have other options now, and blacks and Latinos still work in the fields as a best option? Not sure what the logic here is.

I think these people are just plum crazy. I know of no one that thinks like this. I believe Progressives and Communists make up negative meanings of random items “to create” divisions in our population. Their method to obtain control.

No logic. No relevant experience with work not involving a task chair, a keyboard and government grant money. Purely whimsical emotion.
