Poverty isn't tied directly to bigotry. Rather, a lack of new ideas and mindsets in close proximity can present an environment conducive to the development of bigotry (or its less malicious cousin, ignorance).
- dsfyu404ed 10y agoBelieving that no matter how bad your life is you're still better than someone else by virtue of race becomes more tempting the closer you are to rock bottom.

- rdtsc 10y agoWell that disagrees with what I have seen. You can say it is correlation and that those are somehow born with the biggot gene can't escape poverty. I think it works the other way, poverty amplifies and accentuates biggotry, rasim, sexims and any other -ism. This is based on living in other countries, mostly in US though, in both poor and rich communities, some were diverse poor and diverse rich.
