[quote=Anonymous]OP here - interesting blurb in a big atlantic piece written today:

http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/12/hillary-clinton-working-class/509477/

[quote]The long-term future of the U.S. involves rising diversity, rising inequality, and rising redistribution. The combination of these forces makes for an unstable and unpredictable system. Income stagnation and inequality encourage policies to redistribute wealth from a rich few to the anxious multitudes. [b]But when that multitude includes minorities who are seen as benefiting disproportionately from those redistribution policies, the white majority can turn resentful. (This may be one reason why the most successful social democracies, as in Scandinavia, were initially almost all white.) Nobody has really figured out how to be an effective messenger for pluralist social democracy, except, perhaps, for one of the few American adults who is legally barred from running for the U.S. presidency in the future.[/b][/quote]

over two years after I made my OP, it seems like some of the mainstream left is starting to admit this.
