I get where you're coming from, but especially in America race is often used as a shorthand for poor, as well as being straight up discriminated against due to literal racism.

It annoys me that corpos and politicians only focus on the aspects that don't affect their bottom line. They're quite happy to have a pride flag or a black square, but never in a million years are they going to engage with socio-economic class.

It almost feels like a divide and conquer style conspiracy to keep the lower classes fighting amongst themselves
