Since you like to read, I suggest you read chapter 11 of The Road to Wigan Pier.

It was written in 1937, but encapsulates nicely the difference between the interests of the working class and the sort of radical chic that only fancies itself as aligned with their interests.

Jeff Greenfield had a nice commentary on this topic a couple of days ago.

But yes, assuming that every working class person who disagrees with you is a racist fuck would qualify as elitist.
