Working class Whites have it worse, our capitalist society teaches that we all get what we deserve - the rich and the poor. This is further complicated if one is white. The cultural baggage of white skin includes the myths of power, education, wealth and opportunity.
If one is white and does not succeed there are no social excuses, though they exist for all other marginalized groups. The implied problem must therefore be laziness or stupidity. Yet the marginalization of this group is not so different. The folks also live within a social construct that teaches different values and offers no visible option for a path different from that of their family and social structure. And there are no social organizations offering "poor white" scholarships, or "poor white" loan programs, nor are wealthy whites willing to mentor the working class white's children by helping with college or job training. Being white, in some sense, actually harms their chance of receiving aid or encouragement if they chose to pursue education or a different lifestyle from that of their families.

A few rare instances of white students being offered scholarships at historical black colleges does not negate the fact that most of the poor people in this country are white - a fact that most minorities either forget or refuse to acknowledge - and their incomes have been in outright decline for more than twenty years, particularly compared with minority and women's incomes which have risen steadily. The point I am trying to make is that the race card is played out in this day and age.
As far as racist comedy, cmon, every black comedian has at least one skit where he makes fun of white people. Louis CK made a good point about poor whites.
