That's literally their backstory in the novel afair.
This is intentional.
I have read that the Oompa Loompas were originally just black people and even for the time the publisher thought that was a bit much.
The illustrations in the original book were very...um... politically incorrect.
Jesus, there are people that just need to shoehorn in some moralizing in every goddamn thread, isn't there?
Thanks for that hot take.
