    OH they’re complaining that it’s not all white people now?

    lmao I just completely didn’t even fucking notice that. Maybe because Europe? Race didn’t enter my head whatsoever. All I noticed was that it was all men but I was like “yeah fair enough trucking is mostly men to be fair”.

      Well conservative types would never phrase it like that, but it’s almost always what they mean. All American conservative nostalgia is a wistful lamenting of how white people have less cultural and social dominance now.

      It’s especially apparent when older conservatives say people weren’t as political in their youth, like the 60s and 70s. Yeah, white people weren’t as political, but black civil rights organizers sure were.
