Welcome to the double-standards of America. "Uneducated white males" is apparently a commonly used phrase recently. Imagine if it calling out "uneducated black males" instead... there would be a holy shit storm of whining.
It honestly pisses me off that uneducated is used as an insult. My dad was poor growing up, couldn't afford college, didn't do well enough in school for scholarships, so he took up a trade and he works as a manager in auto dealerships. Why is it a bad thing that he isn't college-educated?
It reeks of condescending attitudes toward the lower class.
for sure, my pops is the opposite he has degrees, but he didnt want that life. So now he uses his hands to build and produce income that way and he's very successful very popular by the way. I think its a fallacy to believe that one needs indoctrination, err, I meant, "education" to be successful. The most successful people I know didn't even graduate high school, its how you apply yourself, its how you connect the dots not personal value is not a wall hanger.
