The figures were lower for Native Americans, blacks, and Latinos; higher for Asian-Americans. Assuming most of Trump's supporters are white, the 43.9 percent figure may be relevant. Not that it necessarily undercuts the point in the post, but it does suggest that more may be involved than 'the credentialed' vs. the 'non-credentialed'.<br /><br />http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/percentage-americans-college-degrees-rises-paying-degrees-tops-financial-challenges/LFChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13551197682770555147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-40367199903626627782015-08-02T12:40:26.689-04:002015-08-02T12:40:26.689-04:00This is the kind of post that I, personally, find ...This is the kind of post that I, personally, find most valuable. I just do not have the time these days to allow my attention to wander too far from my own projects--- vestigial though they are--- and there are too many other demands in my life that rob me of my time. So your more expanded reflections are too demanding for me. But when you offer up this sort of commentary on the passing scene, I am very glad.formerly a wage slavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16064562730082906589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-38564334528866167012015-08-01T11:05:52.342-04:002015-08-01T11:05:52.342-04:00"It is always the case that those at the bot..."It is always the case that those at the bottom of any social hierarchy -- the slaves, the servants, the workers, the women, the gays and lesbians forced into the closet -- have a more clear-eyed and ironically complex understanding of the facts of power and privilege than those at the top."<br /><br />And there you gave a fairly nice expression of why standpoint epistemology is (rightly) popular with feminists and social scientists.
