White college educated far less likely to think poverty is a critical issue
Salon - White college-educated
Americans are far less likely to say poverty is a critical issue — only
37 percent, compared to 47 percent of white non-college-educated
Americans and a majority of Hispanic and black Americans (at 52 and 69
percent, respectively). According to PRRI, white college-educated
Americans are also less likely than non-college whites to say that
children living in poverty is a critical issue to them (49 percent
compared to 60 percent). Only 36 percent of college-educated whites say
lack of well-paying jobs is a major problem facing communities.

If the people I know in the DC area are representative, I'd say this is accurate. They are Lexus liberals who laugh at inane Daily Show jokes, think all Trump voters are cave dwellers and are completely oblivious to the tremendous amount of pain evident in much of the country.
I would hope that it's only the most privileged subset of uni-degreed White people who are so dim. I'm thinking of the ones with finance, business, and similar degrees, or those who draw on parental money and privilege.
But it would be astonishing if the same were true of those who get their undergrad degree via night school because they've to work full time thru the day.
