one thing you shed once you start studying hate groups is the stereotype that racism coincides with unintelligence or poverty. people of all incomes and intelligence levels are militant racists. it’s characterological, not socioeconomic.
which isn’t to say there aren’t dumb goons just. racism and morality don’t track to IQ.
the world breaks us all in different ways. some people want to break others. when you say all racists are dumb and come from poor backgrounds you not only perpetuate classism, but excuse the suit-and-tie fascists that create the ideological systems & screeds others act on.
and sometimes people otherize racists to excuse themselves and the ones they love. just ask all those reporters who went to youngstown to interview trump voters instead of the nice suburbs where their parents live.
