Not from what I've seen, but if you look at the high-middle class areas, they're your conservative voters. There ARE a lot of very wealthy individuals that vote democratic. Hell, look at all the millionaire senators. Fortunately for them, at a point, public policy doesn't affect them. For the rest of the group that are hard working and successful, built from nothing, but aren't "wealthy", we tend to vote conservative.
Though the republican party isn't exactly "conservative" anymore either. They're both one in the same. It's time for a third party.
No, if you look at high-middle class areas they tend to be a mix of conservative and liberal, but mostly liberal. E.g. Nassau county, Middlesex county, Fairfield county, Fairfax county, Santa Clara county, Arlington county, Prince William county, etc. A lot of them are affluent NE corridor or bay area suburbs and a most of those are democratic. I mean you will get some conservative suburbs in the mix, but really most of the wealth is in the Northeast and the geography is just going to be against you.
Even in North Carolina you get the same thing with moderate to liberal areas like the Triangle being the wealthiest.
On the other hand a bunch of the poorest counties in America tend to be a mix of minority and Appalachian the former voting democratic and the latter voting republican.

So is the myth of "The White Advantage" true or not?
Why don't you compare Male to Female workers ?
Since it is fact that just because the Lilly Ledbetter Act was passed, doesn't mean that women are treated or paid equally. Corporations find ways of discriminating against women the same as they do minorities.
Trillions of dollars wasted on unconstitutional social programs.
Such as? Please be sure to list those where whites are NOT the primary beneficiaries.

Like what? You mean the type of employment-related affirmative action where white women have benefited the most?

Yes, because ensuring that discrimination doesn't happen in the workplace is a silly thing to prioritize.

Yes, because before these pesky little programs came about, colleges were so accepting of minorities.
The fact that you used the word "myth" suggests that you are trying to bias the question. You could have simply asked "Do you believe there is a 'White Advantage' in the US?"
Because you used the term myth suggests that you don't believe there is and want to try and impute the idea that it is a myth in respondents.
It is what pollsters call a question with a "leading opinion."
You are wasting your breath!
clb10: "MYTH" should not have been in the descriptor part of the question but in the option part of the answer.

In somethings, probably so. But, this is true for all color people in different categories. Depends on what breaks we are talking about.
