Do you know what racism is? Because I'm not seeing any in this article. Just because an article makes mention of the hardships of some white people doesn't make the article racism. This article is specifically about how WHITE Americans, who traditionally could become extremely successful in life without college degrees, are now finding that is no longer the case.
That's not racism. That's journalism.
Racism would be if the article made fun of white people, or derided them.
The problem that GP is getting at is that while, sure, the article factually doesn't have any problems, it's quite disingenuous to imply that now that white America is faced with these issues, this is a serious problem - even though these are issues which have been historically pervasive in many minority groups.
It may not fit the traditional idea of Jim Crow style racism, but the article's implications are certainly there.
