One small counter, though. The PMC may all be assholes to their fellow whiteys if they don't have a degree/don't submit to the creed yet PMC types support social spending that comes out of their taxes and benefit poor people more than themselves.
For all their countless sins, this is a pretty big redeeming feature (I feel ; but then I am a PMC, ain't I...)
More recently Fareed Zakaria phrased it "Politics is moving away from the left-right divide over economics to an open-closed one centered on cultural issues such as immigration, identity and multiculturalism."
A simple explanation is that the PMC is the hegemonic class, which by definition means that PMC values are treated as normative.
... at least for the time being.
