(70 posts)How come there's so much emphasis on working-class white's, do they represent a more pure slice of life in America, is there some type of gold standard that places those working-class people higher up in the caste system, are their hopes and aspirations radically different from other working-class Americans?
I have a hard time understanding how this works, most working-class folks want good paying jobs, a decent place to live, food in the fridge, and a feeling of relative stability, how come its the white one's everybody seems to feel they have to cater to above the rest?
Is there an expectation, is there a feeling of privilege, that these folks are somehow most deserving?
Feeling left out and marginalized are things large numbers of "racial minorities", women and disabled workers have known for centuries, even when they were/are educated.
By the way ... who coined the phrase, "racial resentment", and how come it's typically used to explain the anger and frustrations felt by white's?
