There is a huge enough literature on this that the burden of proof is on anyone who wants to claim that white workers _as a group_ benefit from racism.
Equally, of course, large numbers, perhaps a majority, of white workers believe (or act as though they believe) that whites as whites benefit from racism. This is another case where Doug's penchant for asking questions in a vacuum at least resembles a conscious effort to _prevent_ the raising of politically or theoretically pertinent questions.
There are crucial questions here and Doug's frivolity on this thread seems designed to block articulation of those questions.
