I think therea a lot of little racism along the way that inadvertently affected whites as the middle class dwindled and the number of poor whites increased.

So, all rooted in racism, maintained by classism, I'd say.

In a country founded by white aristocratic slave-owners it should be no surprise that racism and classism are intertwined.
