"I will not claim causation, but I will say that there is a strong and avid correlation between bigotry and stupid."- Ta-Nehisi Coates.

Quote from a commenter on that same post: I was going to write "privilege can make you stupid", but that isn't right. We all start out stupid. Privilege allows you to stay stupid.

I would say in the U.S. at least there's a correlation between bigotry and lack of privilege, more than the other way around. At least in MI where it's the blue collar whites pitted against the African Americans.
