Ok great. Now segment that further into cultural and lingusitic differences.

The 250,000 "white non-Hispanic" people in Louisiana speaking Creole Patois can't communicate easily with the 200,000 or so "white non-Hispanic" people who speak Appalachian English.

"Race" is a starting point, within which there are so many variances in the US. I've traveled a lot of places, but I've yet to find anywhere in the world as diverse at such a wide scale as that in the US. It's messy, violent, uncertain and magnificent.



And those distinctions existed when the US middle class was far more robust. You still haven’t proven that demographics and not politics is the cause.
