I don’t cotton to it.

Those dang cotton pickers keep messing with our food supply.

Having just used Cotton pickers... I looked up the meaning and most definitions says it’s a reference to blacks.

And I can’t certainly see how that could be. But growing up in the south cotton picking idiot was leveled at a whole lot more than blacks. Sometimes I’m still learning that some of the idioms we used growing up did have racist underpinnings that I never noticed.

Anyway. I didn’t mean it racially.
