I see what you're saying, but I stand by what I said: Industrial characters do represent and parody such sectors of society, but their own cultures and attitudes on Oddworld are their own. By your arguement, Mudokons are merely humans too, as they represent the enslaved Africans and the Malaysian coke bottlers. Elums, too, represent horses or similar beasts of burdon, but it would be a dismissal of OWI's detailed workings to say that these are just Earth creatures that look different.
