It's ugly...
We have a similar problem with Hispanics and their culture of ‘looking up to ‘elites’ with more respect then their elites have earned. It's why they constantly default to dictators...That has to change if they want to be Americans... even if Hollywood and cheap labor exploiters love the trait...
I believe the Hispanic issue resolves itself in one generation - as the first generation raised here attains an education level unknown in their family tree up to that point. The poorly-educated ones that arrive here are in awe of people they deem “educated”, but their offspring will be much more analytical.
FWIW, I’ve noticed that dynamic you describe within the Hispanic community itself - manual laborers with little education are in awe of Hispanics that wear a suit to work (regardless of what type of work they actually do).
Barack Hussein Obama was just here in NJ campaigning for rich white guy running for governor; I believe one of the take-aways for the Dems from 2016 was that blacks are realizing they are pawns of rich white libs, used for their own ends without any real concern for blacks. Blacks could’ve delivered PA, WI, and MI for Hillary and didn’t, and that dynamic MUST be reversed for Dems to remain competitive. This NJ race was supposed to be a shoe-in for the Dem, but Obama’s appearance leads me to believe they may be concerned; another FReeper reminded me that he beat a black Dem in the primary, and that may have caused some damage.
