The colin mcenroe show on NPR started to tackle this narrative. I think many people should listen to this.

Some reading material by some of the panelist
Rethinking the Color Line: Readings in Race and Ethnicity(Academic Material) - Charles A. Gallagher
White Rage The unspoken truth of our racial Divide - Carol Anderson
Some Excerpts
White Working class have a belief there is equal discrimination against all groups. Whites Believe they are a minority. Average Americans believe Black Americans are 39% of the Population(reality is 12%) Latino 33%(reality is 16%) They think Foreigners are 38 % of the population (13%).
They say if you perceive group size larger you vote in that way.
Trump all Lies
The Safest communities neighborhoods have large foreign born populations
Even the Perception of the 2050 whites being a minority is distorted because of people self defining themselves as white its not accounted for.
Impact of economic issues is magnified for people of color. During the recession for PoC lost 31% of wealth while white was limited to 11% which also shows evidence of "econimic anxiety" being nonsense as well.
On Voter Suppression Tactics and Voter Fraud
Voter Fraud is a lie. Reality is aggressive tactics to make voting harder on minorities. Great example of this is in Alabama.
1. Looked to pass Voter ID as law requiring Govt IDs
2. Defined narrowly what constituted Govt ID regardless of it being issued by the Govt.
3. Systematically closed DMV locations in predominately Black areas.
Texas
Followed the same model. They even had people who would have to travel over 200 miles to get ID. Even if the reimburse travel expense this still would not help people who would need to take work off and lose money for a days worth of work.
This currently is the way that power is maintained in areas that have changing demographics.
A lot more I encourage people to listen.
