Attitudes towards gays, race, the "prison-industrial complex, and the threat posed by the US military" are general among whites, working class or not, so there's still a minoritarianism at work. Attitudes towards gender are general among males irrespective of race, so ditto.
If you think the working class is not majority non-Hispanic white (men and women), then I'd like to see your statistical source, or better, to get some of the same drugs you're taking.

There are no well-paid intellectuals here, white male or otherwise.
I'm doing better than Kruse, but instead of earthquakes there was a kid shot in front of my house last night, in suburbia no less.
