So is this the movie to take that particular stand in?* Or will it help to fix that problem by never casting minority actors in blue-collar-esque roles? Because I guarantee that would cause a whole 'nother kind of outrage (and one I'd actually agree with).

*asking honestly because I'm not terribly familiar with Ghostbusters and I don't know if there are any highly-educated/rich characters of any import in that movie, though I definitely get the sense that making one of the characters pictured here rich or highly educated would be out of character

All three of the other people are highly educated (that is the point). They could have EASILY made one of the white women the "uneducated, everyman.

I remember reading that Patty (the everywoman character) was originally written for Melissa McCarthy (making the character white in the scriptwriters mind) before they decided to switch them due to Patty being like "Every other Melissa McCArthy's role".

Also, that Patty IS highly educated, just with a shitty job. (She has a doctorate or masters in History, IIRC)

I don't think there's been any confirmation that Patty has a doctorate in history. If anything, I think the poster(?) that refers to her as a New York "historian" is making a joke about her street smarts.
