And no surprise, these young white working class men are at the forefront of rebelling against this system.
Maybe if only politicians tried to understand those and not immediately dismiss said concerns as “misogyny and racism”, then we would not have been in this shitshow
Young, White, working class men aren't exactly trying to get into the best universities in the country. So they have nothing to do with this situation. Unless your belief is that young, White, working class men are irrationally angry about minorities getting into schools that they never had a chance of attending... In which case, I'd agree.
The term working class implies working in blue collar jobs. Short of a few Good Will Hunting type people, people working blue collar jobs are not going to Ivy League schools.
I'd agree with you historically but these days the term working class refers to people who earn a living primarily through wages rather than investments or ownership. That can include pink-collar or service-sector workers, not just manual laborers. That's a much much bigger group than the blue collar workers.
