There are wealthy and poor people all across the country that do or do not participate or relate to any of those named things.
You have identified a very specific type of economic class, which has nothing to do with "race" and/or ethnicity. I also doubt Canonical is only seeking people who "summer" in Martha's Vineyard, regardless of their skin color.
- saagarjha 3y agoNobody said they were. That was an example to explain how questions like these can be classist.
- shermantanktop 3y agoExactly. That said, some standardized tests have been accused of class or race bias merely by the demographic distribution of outcomes, which requires a lot more explaining than asking whether "Does Buffy's Jaguar leak oil?" has a potential class bias.
- Alupis 3y ago> That was an example to explain how questions like these can be classist The op asserted classist == racist in the US. Something I requested elaboration on, and has yet to be offered.
- 0xBDB 3y agoOP asserted "probably", so not ==. In the U.S. class, income, and race are correlated for various historical reasons. Obviously "correlated" means "on average", not a rigid relationship. But discriminating based on class is very likely based on correlation to produce a disparate impact based on race. How disparate, and how bad that is and even I suppose whether it's bad, are hotly contested ideological questions.
