"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.
