There are various indicators for whether you are even semi-serious when your response to the issue of racial inequalities is 'it's all about class'

Perhaps first, do you propose to do anything to address class inequality?

Do you offer any explanation for why class inequalites
are so extensive? What is your account (if any) of how class inequalities reproduce?

And what (if anything) should be done in response?

Are your policies or practical suggestions proportionate to the extent of the inequalities?

Do you have any explanation for why ethnic
minorities are more likely to live in poverty? (an explanation that is especially needed if you otherwise highlight their high educational attainment and rule out discrimination)

If you have no explanation, & perhaps more importantly you suggest no *solutions* to class inequals
(never mind solutions to your thesis of the greater impact or likelihood of class inequalities on ethnic minorities)

Then we can only conclude you are unserious or dishonest

Or, you think class inequalities are 'natural' and justifiable, so require no policies to address
Which hardly suggests your purported concern for working class ppl, white or minority, is exactly genuine
