One of the luxuries that comes with living in a relatively homogeneous society is that you can have grievances without having to make them racial.
For most of the past century, Britain had such a luxury, as its society was overwhelmingly white and remarkably homogeneous. Ask a working-class person who they were and they would tell you something based on their class, place and nation. Scousers, Geordies, English, absolutely. White? A racial group? Not really.
