[quote=Anonymous]I thought this was going to be about acknowledging how racist/classist many well-off, non-white immigrants are. I have some wealthy Desi neighbors who have said shocking things to me. I think they assume I agree with them because I'm white? I told them I was a offended by their comments and they have since stopped speaking to me. My SIL is UMC Mexican and she was complained by about the lack of diversity where they live in northern New Mexico. I expressed surprise because the area has high percentages of hispanic and native people. She replied "no, not that kind of diversity-- I mean educated brown people." I don't know, I'm as white as they come. I know there are lots of racist white people. I am sure I have subconscious racism I need to work on. But I can't imagine a white person under the age of 60 saying that kind of thing. At least not in the US. All of these people would describe themselves as progressives too.[/quote]
