She gets some points right, but she misses others.
1. Not all cultures are equal and she claims that Muslims will behave perfectly and we will have everything alright if the country consits of 40% Mexicans and 50% Muslims. Also it won't be alright if it is 80% black. But she assumes it will.
2. She correctly understands the class struggle. It was by the way much more than indentured servitude of the whites. The whitwash in history is massive. There were hundreds of thousands of actual white slaves in the US. Yes - they later got free and actually their prices at times was lower than for the blacks since they were weaker, more rebellious than the black. Black slaves were at times worth 10 times as much as white ones. She gets her history lessons out of mainstream history books.
3. But she is right along the lines of abysmal social mobility in the US. It is much much better in countries like Sweden or Germany. In Europe when you work hard, either have a good trade or study something decent, then you will rise to the middle or upper middle class. While this is true in the US as well, the data does not bear it out for the majority:
She is right in that field.
Fostered racism is indeed part of the strategy, but it is not endemic of all poor whites. The bigger problem is that in the US you don't have poor people, but just inconvenienced millionaires. This moron attitude is alright in terms of positive spirit, but it is pure bullshit when looking at an aggregate playing field out there.
Any McDonald's worker in Switzerland will outearn a lower class American who is working 60 hours a week - even in terms of disposable income that burger flipper will make more than most Americans and will afford a much higher standard of living - this is double so if you add healthcare and education opportunity to the mix.
And Switzerland is not socialist, but it has good labor laws and a restricted labor market. The immigrants barely ever get work permits there. Of course that is necessary in the US and Trump is absolutely right on that. However the first thing about those things is to change the labor laws in the US, so that companies get punished severely for hiring illegals. Then you can build a wall in addition to that.
However that graph won't change:

It is exactly what Professor Dennis Marker is all about. And it would look much worse if you picked the top 0,1% and vs even the upper 10%.
