To be fair parental income is the best indicator of child income and those things you list are proxies for parental income. That said I do agree with your point, though I think market skepticism is largely a separate issue from forced multiculturalism and identity politics. The market is generally dysfunctional for the working class and people want to blame something for it. On the other side the dysfunction is blamed for different things. This hurts me particularly as over-correction w.r.t race/social class has made it very hard to attend school despite good grades and extracurricular performance.

This study explores whether or not intelligence tests' scores predict individual differences in scholastic achievement irrespective of SES factors such parents' income and education. The variables of interest are analyzed considering three independent samples of participants comprising a total of 641 children. The participants belonged to a Brazilian School characterized by broad and representative ranges in intelligence, scholastic achievement, and SES factors. The results indicate that SES factors do not predict children differences in scholastic achievement, whereas children's intelligence tests' scores predict their scholastic differences. These results underscore personal intelligence as a genuine predictor of individual differences in scholastic achievement.
