  1. Racism and classism tend to overlap.
    Why are you reading this? go to your general settings and uncheck the Show Signatures box already!

  2. Humans drinking water and having fingers and toes tend to overlap too.

    Since racist tend to explain class problems via race.

    And since racist policies tend to have class implications.

  4. ok, so do you become more racist the richer you get or the poorer?

  5. Do you get more classist the richer you get or the poorer?

    I think it tapers off at a certain point as your position becomes more secure, and as you begin to see most people as beneath you, regardless of race.

    Trump's base is the white suburban middle class. The people who have something to lose, but are still vulnerable enough that they can imagine being displaced as a real thing to fear.

    I think these people are often less comfortable expressing these views in polite company compared to lower class people, of course, but even that's starting to change as Trump and his followers have increasingly normalized a lot of really poisonous racist rhetoric (especially about Latinos).

  7. So then the top 1% wealthiest Americans are the least racist.
    Guess I learned something today!

    Racist.

    EDIT: Wow, Dolt 45's tantrum this morning was great. It's been a while since we had a, "BUT I WANT THAT COOKIE," style meltdown.

    education is the operative factor that makes you less racist. People with college+ tend to be wealthier at this point tho. But then you start contributing more to structural racism rather than individual racism, so it's kinda tough. everyone is racist, basically.

  10. Is it the education that causes that, or the exposure to the 'other'?
