Dylan Matthews Foppish Vox Hipster

Trump's idea that jobs will solve racism is just wrong by Dylan Matthews
It’s not a totally implausible theory, that the country becomes more tolerant during economic booms and that white Americans become more racially prejudiced during recessions or stagnation. 
But the evidence for the theory is mixed at best. In many cases, it’s hard to see much correlation between objective economic conditions and the status of race relations.
