This always assumes that the primary way people are different is race. A liberal white and a black business major from Princeton who both grew up upper class in the north going to private school probably have much more in common than a poor conservative white guy from a Alabama and a rich liberal one from New York.

This is my entire problem with most diversity programs. Economic class and location are much larger factors in diverse thinking than strictly race.

But what do I know. I'm just a hick from Alabama (:

That’s one of the reasons why in some circles the “1620 project” and similar interpretations of history are so threatening to some people.

The biggest fear of reactionary types who control resources is that rural poor that trends white and urban poor that trends minority will figure out that they share more common interests and challenges.

The whole schtick is to keep people angry at their neighbor so they don’t notice what they don’t have.
