What’s their beef?

So I have been looking at the various photos of the Tiki-Torch gathering in Chatlottesville VA this past weekend. The anger that was supposed to be expressed over the last few months and culminated with the racist gathering on Saturday had been attributed to blue collar, perhaps middle aged white men who had lost jobs, income, and prestige to a whole new generation of newbies of various skin tones, and who now had to start accepting that other Americans who were not just like them had the same rights as they did

But the pictures I saw of the torch brigades showed young men who could not have been around in the “good old days” whose loss they were lamenting, and they certainly were not angry blue collar middle aged guys who could be sympathized with slightly, but not wholeheartedly as, rather than look for the root cause of their problems, they were happy someone gave them a scapegoat.

So what exactly were these under 30 people upset about?
