It's more complex that that, IMO, regarding workers who are white. Yes, there is a lot of racism, including anti-immigrant racism that cuts across ethnic lines in the working class. A lot of this is dominated by trade issues as well, with Mexican-American/Chicano oil workers in the Rio Grande region of Texas' oil producing region mostly voting for Trump because of narrow industrial reasons feeling, as they are, "under attack" by the "green" anti-oil Democrats. Steel workers in the Pittsburgh, northern Indiana region and other "legacy" primary industrial sectors also in their majority voted for Trump. This is a general reflection of massive demoralization and, grasping at anything that will allow them to survive.
