    If anyone hasn't read it, "White Trash" by Nancy Isenberg describes the history and type of person that liberals feel comfortable being bigoted toward.

      Many liberals are quite happy to be bigoted towards any group, even POC, that its not cool to be woke about. I've seen ostensibly liberal people crack jokes (and sometimes even say things seriously) about Asian people that they absolutely would not say about black or latino folks.

      I remember a teacher in high school that mentioned White Trash as being a person that white people were "obviously" better than. It's always stuck with me. It's a weird form of racism on the surface level.
