I have not read enough Lenin and I will fully and shamefully admit to this fact, though my total is not zero. What I have read however is Settlers, which elucidated clearly the contradiction and deception behind the idea of the white "working class" in the west. Judging by your edit it was not clear the group I was speaking of and I will also fully admit to that.
While as marxists we must always be aware of how racial perceptions play into class dynamics and keep in mind intersectionality that does not mean we should devolve onto a simplistic race based categorization of society. That is the realm of fascism NOT socialism. Marx was white. Lenin was white. Stalin was white. We judge people based on their actions not their race. There are white homeless people in the US. Are they not victims of capitalism? There are black millionaires like Kanye West who are out and about fascists. Are they not bourgeoisie? The world does not fit neatly into tidy little boxes. People cannot be judged by adding up their demographic information.
