The centrists has their basic needs met and isn't part of a social group that is threatened so they see both as a waste of tax spending.

"If we just improve the education system, racism will go away." - My centrist friend

Bro, no. Also, who the fuck do you think is trying to fund education? Assuming we even accept your premise.
