They're comfortable and secure enough in terms of status and wealth that they're not negatively affected by elevating someone else--they're still going to be at or near the top regardless. Since they think of themselves the avatars of white people, the troubles and concerns of lower class whites are dismissible. Thus they are fine with "equity" since they're not actually the one who feel the crunch when the bill comes due. They are the white people who have been through the lunch line, have gotten their food, then come back to tell the remaining white people to go to the back of the line to balance things out.

Make up whatever fan fiction about the left that you want, but there is really no way around the fact that leftist policy is centered towards helping people who are not well off, regardless of their skin color or political leanings. The fundamentals of leftist policy are increasing taxation on the rich to increase the amount of money going towards the poor, either through increasing minimum wage or increasing financial assistance.

This whole fantasy that the left is a party of the elites just doesn't make sense if you take even a cursory look at policy. 

Ever heard the quote "The road to hell is paved by good intentions"?
