> Protestants into previously Anglo parts of the US. Some theologians

> Chow has called the Protestant work ethnic. Revising Max Weber, Chow  
> argues that immigrants to the US today still gain ethnic acceptance  
> based on their ability to adhere to the Protestant work ethic, which  
> in turn, allows for a certain retention of ethnic diversity.  
> Conveniently for the dominant class, this produces a cheap labour  
> pool. I illustrate this conjuncture through a brief ethnography of an  
> Iowa town where a hybrid Anglo-Protestant church has formed and where  
> Latinos now provide the bulk of the labour force for the meat-packing
