Us white males must defend the country from those annoying brown skinned people who are taking OUR JOBS WE HAVE FAMILIES TO FEED DAMNIT /s
This is the way many of this demographic sees it. And, to be fair, why shouldn't they, at a certain level? These are folks who do not have college educations, but whose jobs were eliminated and shipped overseas (many of them, anyway), and many who ARE employed have jobs that are not what anyone would consider a "good job"; they are jobs with lesser benefits and salary, and often jobs that require "flexible schedules". This demographic is an older demographic. Sure, we can send a 53 year old white male "back to school". How much age discrimination will such a person encounter in the real-world job market when they emerge with an A. A. or A. S. degree?
Like an associates gets you a job any more.
