barjona: You raise an interesting point. Class division and economic privilege  is essentially "baked" into our political, economic and taxation structures. It seems to me that diversionary tropes, like white privilege and identity-based complaint, while perhaps outwardly valid for some in terms of their present circumstances, largely obscure broader and more important equality concerns. As such, these diversions are politically useful to our economic and political elites, suggesting that the identity warriors may simply be useful pawns in the cause of extending and reinforcing the economic inequality they say they're challenging.
