Huge, huge point. I wish more people understood this, because it would certainly end a lot of the confusion. The white ruling class banks off of the race struggle/bitterness shared by lower classes, and it's growing increasingly obtuse. Unfortunately, the cultures within the lower classes are so vastly different from one another (at least, on the surface) that we've seen a split in same-class culture that is the first of its kind since Babel, you know? What we have now is a cesspool of culture competition with standoffish communication, and the cheeseball multicultural "awareness" (meaning, "look at how separate and different we all look") being forced on everyone from the workplace to the youth destroys what uniquely noticable ties (low income) these lower classes have to one another. It is my opinion that "celebrating" cultural differences that are already obvious by first-impression physical characteristics make people feel separate from one another, not linked. Our PC mindstate has limited this country from any kind of class movement opportunity. peace,
