The New Poor

• paulhauggis 11y ago
  "Not only do the New Poor have the same skin color and/or cultural habits of white moneyed individuals and their families, but they are also socially-linked to those individuals and families by virtue of their educational backgrounds." Please stop linking to these racist articles.

    i wouldn't call this racist at all. rich people are, by percentage, mostly white.

      Well, if you said a large percentage of minorities commit crimes in a certain area of the country, based on statistics, you would be called 'racist'. It's the world we live in.

        Downvoting this is exactly what I am talking about: generalizing that whites are rich is fine, but generalizing that minorities are poor or commit crimes is not. It's extremely hypocritical and I just can't take someone seriously that has these sorts of views.
