Classism may not be quite as "trendy" as racism or sexism right this minute, but I think you'll still find plenty of interest in the topic (and it's intersections with the others) on the left.

- sct202 6y agoInterest in the topic is what drove the popularity around books like Hillbilly Elegy and tons to articles in NYT and WaPo after the 2016 election about poor white people and what were the challenges that they were facing and motivations.
- xyzzyz 6y agoYou mean the ones which explained that the poor whites are actually privileged racists, who are too lazy to learn to code?
- cycrutchfield 6y agoAh yes, this is the level of insight in comments that I come to Hacker News for. Excellent work.
- pelliphant 6y agomaybe the problem here is "american left" vs "other countries left". In "other countries left" the left tag is defined by this topic (and this topic alone). So, for someone not from america, your statement is a bit weird...
- jjoonathan 6y agoYes, but people judge actions, not intentions.
