There are three reasons, all related: Economics, education and culture. Economically, working-class whites have the most to lose and are the most threatened by unskilled labor. Since people of color have historically been a large part of the underclass, they pose a threat to working-class whites (who often complain that X minority group is taking all of their jobs). This is also related to education – working-class whites don’t have the same access to higher education and hence a higher standard of living. Culturally, it’s more socially acceptable among working-class whites to be racist. Among middle-class whites, racism is a social stigma. This doesn’t mean middle-class whites aren’t racist, it just means they hide it better because they know it’s improper. Alone with each other, middle-class whites often say incredibly racist things if they feel comfortable doing so.
