'White-on-white racism' isn't really a thing, but there are a certain group of white people who live in suburban or urban areas, work as professionals or in some kind of 'post-industrial' (and not service sector, either) job, and hold liberal or 'progressive' political views that absolutely hate other white people who have the misfortune of not being able to pronounce quinoa, going to brunch, or alternatively watching NASCAR or professional wrestling. It's not 'racism', but its very obviously class hate on the part of a particularly impotent segment of the white population that fears/finds the working class white person disgusting. This, of course, is all fine and good, because in America the Netherlands, class is treated as something that doesn't really exist, or is alternatively a set of stereotypical attitudes and behaviors that apply only to certain kinds of working class people (i.e. white men).
And, of course, that petty bourgeois segment of the white population can always defend itself against accusations of bigotry by going into how much they love blacks and LatinosMuslim immigrants. Of course, this is only because they don't live anywhere near those populations, and have a conceptions of those groups of people that fit in neatly with their own guilt-wracked conscience. The closer they come into contact with those groups, the more obvious their racism toward them.
I actually happen to entirely agree with this. Nowadays, European "progressives" don't seem to be interested in "lifting up the working class" because they assume minorities will make sure they'll end up in elected office anyway: they think they don't need the working class anymore, forgetting the fact that their whole political existence used to be / should be based on helping these people. So now, European "progressives" like to mock and to stamp on the (white) working class for its political views and its alleged racism. Sure, some of them are racist, but it's not as if progressives aren't as bigoted - their bigotry is just a different kind of bigotry, influenced by the fact that latte liberals are not the ones who live in deprived neighborhoods. And progressives never addressed working-class racism as a problem when they still voted Labour anyway.
The newest progressive trend of implementing minority quotas will hurt white working-class people even more.
