Have you considered trying to volunteer in a soup kitchen or a homeless shelter instead? Or even offering free tutoring to children.

- notacoward 4y agoI wouldn't be talking about my experience with less-affluent people if I hadn't personally availed myself of opportunities to meet them. I'm just saying that most members of my class have practically made a sport out of avoiding anyone unlike themselves. Part of it is that people who have never lived outside of "the bubble" themselves often no idea what it's like or what people there are like. None whatsoever. Among my RL friends, sometimes I try to bridge the gap by sharing some of my own experiences. Other times, frankly, I just have to walk away before I say something we'll all regret. Classism tends to be built bit by bit, and has to be dismantled the same way.
