Their solution from what I can tell is...leave it alone. It's fine for some people and it's crappy for others but that's just life. Buck up, stiff upper lip, and go to work.

Leaving aside your self-important elitism, my solution is to have conversations with these people without calling them names or deriding them, and explain why these issues are important and why they should see it your way. There are racists out there, there are genuinely terrible people who are beyond reaching, but there are a
lot more people like my hypothetical electrician who are good, well-meaning and would probably agree with you on many things (or could at least be brought around to seeing and respecting your point) without you acting like they're a lower rung on the evolutionary ladder.
