I was going to say working class people in low wage jobs will often be perceived as the most racist/xenophobic for the whole "they took your job" thing. It is also people living in low income areas who have to deal with the masses of refugees and economic migrants, not the liberals who called for it.
I had such a sheltered view on all this til I went to Bradford in UK. From the outside you'd call the locals racist fucks etc; go there and see the effect it has had. You'd feel same - having your community shit on and being told by people in ivory towers that you're racist if you say jack shit against it.
Nothing about job-taking, they just deemed them subhuman. My folks would lie to me as a kid, telling me how we were all the same, and there were just ugly people out there, for whatever reason, perpetuating negative stereotypes. Learned the truth much later, after I left the house.
Down the street, though, the Villas, Rodriguez, Encinas, Nietos, Nevarez, Flores, etc. - they didn't play those games: "ni**er, mayate, boogies, etc. - "Stay away, mijo! Trouble."
Must've all been influenced by those unfair portrayals on mainstream TV.
