So you're saying they are exploited, yet you're undecided on whether they should feel exploited? To me saying someone is exploited rather strongly implies that they should probably feel exploited. In fact, I've never heard anyone tell anyone else they are exploited with any intention rather than trying to get them to feel that way and then "liberate' themselves.
I've never seen someone try to twist themself in such a intellectual knot just to be walk back a statement that they swear they aren't trying to walk back. Either own it or admit it was a silly thing to say, because at this point in your mental gymnastic routine I'd probably start to feel a little embarrassed.
