“We see this because our white liberal elites do not mix with the people they supposedly hold sacred. They do not share their beliefs or habits. The elite enclaves include ethnic minorities primarily as servants. It turns out, holding minorities to be sacred is largely rhetorical—it would be similar to someone professing Christianity but running away from churches and their fellow Christians.”

Dr. Anthony Bradley made a similar observation about the 2020 Democratic primary when talking about the white elite progressive Bernie Sanders supporters.
