Young white graduates, Shor noted, account for one in 20 voters, yet make up “a literal majority of people who work in politics”. Many are unaware of, or uninterested in, the unpopularity of their own biases.

I've noticed this. I think so many of these types are so committed to getting an ego boost by feeling morally superior to others, they can't stop flaunting green. Also, it's not just a "white" issue. 

I've had a green Ethiopian-American woman attack me for "respectability politics" when I told some inner city youths at a job training program they should be able to dress however they like, but they would not get a job if they came into an interview sagging. Meanwhile, she herself was dressed to middle class norms.
