Assuming you two have never visited the economically depressed eastern half of Germany, you simply can't be expected to "get" what kind of people Steingart is referring to.
But I expect two fine, cosmopolitan leftist fellows like yourself are open to educating yourselves. Here are some keywords you might wish to Google whenever you have some spare time:
Rostock-Lichtenhagen
Gollwitz
Postlow
NPD+Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
NPD+Sachsen
Bill Bartlett's naive idealization of the underclass is pure white-skin privilege in practice. My sympathy for people ceases when they start doing things like burning down asylum homes or beating up immigrants.
