It's not a religious issue, it's not a political identity issue, it's not not a cultural issue, it's not an ethnicity issue it's an issue completely motivated by racial biases. So calling it white privilege is the best way to address this because there are plenty of other majorities in this country who are not affected by the same biases.

No it is motivated by other issues, it's just that the overriding issue is race.
The Southern strategy wouldn't work if there wasn't a class issue. It's important to recognize other issues that are tied into race because the race issue has had such a far reaching influence that it's no longer JUST about race, which is why Republicans find ammo to use against blacks that they can paint as not racist. I mean immigration in any form will always be a major influence on a country's politics and slavery is the most bizarre form of immigration any country has ever seen.
