Uneducated White Woman

So, I keep hearing the mainstream media use the term, "Uneducated White Women", as one of the many terms they are using to describe those who voted in the Presidential Election.

You won't see the word, "uneducated", in this list. -A Mother -A Grandmother -A Wife -A Business Owner  -A Photographer -A Student -An Author -A Property Owner -A Girl Scout Troop Leader -A Volunteer  -A Good Human Being Feel free to describe me by using any of the titles I have listed above . P lease, stop us ing my lack of a college degree as a reason to assume that I am uneducated. I am very well educated in many areas of  life. Thank you, Supermom
