    It has nothing to do with class at all. It has to do with how smart you are. If you're not smart, you won't benefit from higher education, certainly post-graduate education. You have to be smart to even get in the door. Try to explain Tsiolkovsky's rocket equation and Kepler's laws of orbital mechanics to your average Trump voter. They will end up looking at you slack-jawed, then start screeching about emotions and feelings. The rocket equation doesn't care how you feel, either you produce enough delta-V and in the correct magnitude and direction, and you get to orbit, or you do not and instead fall back to earth. it's numbers and math and physics. Racists are well-known for their lack of intelligence. America is full of stupid, scared, fucked up sheep who tune into the Kardashians or reality TV for their enlightenment. Higher education won't benefit them.

      When you were a baby you had no idea how the world worked same as them as a baby

      you were then sent to schools which taught you the math and science to understand these things while they were sent to schools that didn't. To then attribute you being more able to understand these things to innate superiority is idealistic to the point you might as well believe in magic
