Kind of hard to separate race & class in this case, like many others.
And the NY Post and Daily News are read by plenty of people of color. In the early 1990s, there was an organized black boycott of the Post, but that faded.
The Post's politics suck, but man is it a great tabloid. The News looks like diluted pablum next to it.
