It's a fairly common observation that there's more middle class racism than working class racism.
Working class racism certainly exists and can be very nasty, but it's not endemic and casual in the way it can be among the middle classes.
One possible explanation is that the working classes know they're at the bottom of the heap, while the middle classes are much more finely tuned to differentiation markers of all kinds.
