Views on illegal immigration may be the surest status symbol. A blithe attitude toward illegal immigration conveys your self-confidence that you don’t have to worry about competition from Latin American peasants and that you can afford to insulate your children from their children. Moreover, your desire to keep down the wages of nannies, housekeepers, and pool boys by importing more cheap labor advertises that you are a member of the servant-employing upper-middle class.
That's the rich, not the upper-middle class. I don't think most of the "stuff white people like" crowd have servants and pool boys. They do have some of the attitudes he describes. Certainly a large percentage of the people at my college were the way he described. WASPs with money are the ones infected with liberalism. They embrace a cultic, anti-factual view of the world and detest and are quite vicious toward any who don't embrace their insanity. Their views are not precisely the same as the views of the jew-commies, but they mesh with them pretty well.
