This demographic trope of “people who feel forgotten” is annoying. I grok anger about being actually oppressed, but if your complaint is *just* “being forgotten” a) there’s people who’ve *never* had attention b) maybe try to do more memorable things? c) What, you want a parade?

touché, my view was tied to the vibe of the ‘left’ having won the culture wars pre-2016 and then feeling alienated by “Hollywood”/the Internet/etc but yeah I suppose they do perceive that institutions are allocating more to minorities (perhaps bc of the culture war stuff? )

Yeah... goes back to "what's the matter with Kansas" argument. Rural whites in particular have this idea that urban minority freeloaders are getting all the good stuff while they're being taxed and shafted (they conveniently don't see ag subsidies as spoils but national security)
