I did history to A level and never a single lesson that wasn't about white Europeans.Plenty of choices the same at uni level, too. Of course there there are also modules on many non white peoples and histories, but that's communism etc etc.

I did history to A level and never a single lesson that wasn't about white Europeans.Reminds me of an exam when we were 13-14 where we are asked to write about Saladin- ie stick down some facts. The teacher pointed out that we'd all written about Richard the Lionheart.
To dismiss this as the politics of grievance is to dismiss what it feels like to be disrespected, to feel “a stranger in your own land”. To feel as though the college-educated are looking down at the non-college-educated.I'll dismiss it, because this rubbish has been around forever. Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, Trump, all the rest of them are college-educated.
The economy is not being run in their interests, government is not working for them, and mainstream political parties have not been up to the job in recent years.If that's even a truthful account of the fundraiser, that's not a guy complaining about the rigged economy, That's a reactionary saying "Democrats only care about scroungers and immigrants".
This is what appealed to so many people including lifelong Democrats such as Bill, who was the first person I chatted to at a rally in Latrobe, just outside Pittsburgh. “I was a Democrat all my life, a local organiser. I was invited to a fundraiser, bought a new suit to look smart, turned up and listened to all the speeches. By the end of the evening, there had been a programme aimed at everyone – those on benefits, single mothers, new immigrants – but nothing of any kind at me, a dad of two children, trying to pay the mortgage, working hard to get on. I realised the Democrats were no longer for me.”
what motivated so many of them was a lack of order and control in their lives. If you don’t know who is coming across the border, you feel uneasy and at riskTrump's approach was to let out criminals from ICE detention and detain asylum seekers. And lots of the people employing the undocumented are Republicans. A border package was agreed with Senate Republicans and then Trump told them to stop it. So the reality can't have been that terrifying.
The outlines of what needs to happen will emerge. A project that is squarely back on the side of working people. Where we do the “heavy lifting” to get better and bolder policies on the cost of living, making work pay, securing our borders, providing for the aspirations of those who don’t go to university.There's been a jobs boom and real terms pay increases, and Biden concentrated on blue collar (and male) jobs via infrastructure and the Inflation Reduction Act.
