Calling racial inequality a “one percenter” problem makes sense if you consider non-White people to be not real, but only an abstraction of concern to Whites (and, only, apparently, White elites.)

And a lot of those other issues have immediate, near-term impacts on the immediate prospects for families outside of the elites, (and without regard to divisions like race), so even from a narrow short-term self-interest standpoint don't make a lot of sense tongues as one-percenter problems even as much as political messaging from the Right paints them as elite distractions from immediate economic concerns.
