Yes, let's talk about social mobility when even white women were second class citizens and Black people were much lower down than that, when professions and neighborhoods excluded Jews and sometimes Catholics, when Hispanic farmworkers were even closer to outright serfdom.

Your chart really, really doesn't include the 1950s. If you want to talk about changes after the 1970s you'd be on firmer ground, though there'd still be issues.

look i’d love to have that chart at my fingertips but it’s more of the same since 1971.
