I just checked the second post, which the backward links would get me to. That poster didn't use "white working class" in any prominent way I could spot.

I guess I wasn't very clear. You're right. He talked about
whites. Which I found strange. Since all the discussion about recent demographics was about "white working class" and later "Appalachia," I found it strange that his essay was about whites as though the issue was whites rather than "white working class."

But to respond to the notion as to what represents "white working class," in the most formal sense, plumbers in Vermont would not be included

It wouldn't. Plumbers aren't working class?

As an aside, I had read that "working class" is demographic code for "not college educated." Which is different from being political code for "great unwashed."
