The Retreat From Reason VIII: The White Working Class

'Sometimes perceptions of relative power between
groups change, and then the PC change their allegiances.
Britain's politically correct used to support the white
working class, seen as the victims of oppression by the
middle classes; but then they discovered that the white
working classes were higher up the power hierarchy than
more vulnerable ethnic minorities, and so started openly
targeting their ire at the white working classes (as
chronicled in Michael Collins's book The Likes of Us).
Even though the white working classes themselves hardly
changed, the change in perceptions of power in society
meant that attacking the white working classes suddenly
went from being politically incorrect to politically correct.'
