Does a rising tide lift all boats racially?

I don't see how you can improve the conditions of White workers without improving the conditions of all workers. As long as non-Whites undercut Whites with lower wages or at one point of history, slavery, Whites will always be competitively priced out of the labor market. This is true on a global market too, where manufacturing is often outsourced as well as on a local market where illegal aliens take servicing job for illegal wages.

Therefore, I can see why leftists embrace antiracism, because you cannot wage a class struggle by leaving non-Whites behind and only improving the conditions of White workers under the conditions of global capitalism.

That's the reason I've become more antiracist over the years. It's about the conflict between the rich and poor. Racism divides workers against each other, but initially I didn't have much of a class consciousness.
