Here is a new website on "race, law and culture" called blackprof.com One of the more interesting posts is called Racism Phobia and it discusses why so many people seem to be more comfortable with the "poverty card" than the "race card".

I was wondering that myself. I think it's probably because it's harder to confront one's racism (inherently illogical) than one's classism (which is still "explained away" into blaming the victim into being an acceptable viewpoint)

Yes, just the other day someone was telling me that especially in liberal circles calling someone a racist is almost like a fighting word. It tends to make some people's brains turn off. It because difficult to discuss rationally.
