[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a white person who had an outhouse in 1986, OP, your prejudice is against against poor and foreign people.

FWIW, when I went out of my Appalachian community,  my friends were the other outcasts....like by best friend who was transgender before it was cool, and my Chinese friend who didn’t speak English well, and my black friend who struggled like me assimilating.

[b]All this is so much more socio-economic and cultural than race[/b].  Most white people’s “black friends” are kids of doctors.  So cute how you think you get it.[/quote]

Doesn't the fact that your 'outcast' friends were mostly non white negate your point?[/quote]

I was raised a hillbilly too and no it doesn’t. Poor folk stick together more.[/quote]

That is exactly right.  It is also true that poor people of all colors feel disrespected, marginalized and unheard, and they resent it.  Fix that and we will make some real progress.  Otherwise, we are just reliving the cycle of history.[/quote]
