Living in the Ghetto

[LivingNumbers6.626]

I'm a white guy living in a ghetto suburb of San Diego. More people speak to me here than they do in richer white neighborhoods.

Anyone experience the same correlation? I have more respect for the ghetto, because the people here are more personable. The struggle is real out here and I feel as if there is a sense of unity out here sometimes.

What do you think?

I'm quite happy as an upper middle class professional, thank you.

Omg....I can't even...

Modern day Christian for you. Not very Christ like, but typical.

I come from a low socioeconomic status background, and I often find it easier to relate to my acquaintances of similar original status than my acquaintances with a more privileged experience, regardless of race. The opposite is also sometimes true, we moved many times when I was a child, and I spent a lot of time reading the sets of encyclopedias we lugged around. That experience rendered me atypical compared to most people who have lived in a family of seven in a 1 1/2 bedroom trailer on a farm without electricity or running water (it wasn't always so extreme, of course, and we did eventually get those amenities, and attached another trailer to our trailer). To an extent, I am comfortable in both worlds, and to an extent I'm odd in both. I'm not inclined to complain about not fitting in, I'm fortunate to have good friends across the socioeconomic and racial spectrum.

I'm an European immigrant to the UK from a family who've never had higher education and for many years before my time lived in a one room flat because they were so poor, so you don't really get much lower on the class system than that.

But since I've been at a pretty high ranking (dare I say even "elite") university mixing with the toffs and middle class kids? You're half right.

The middle class ones who want to be seen as all that and aspire to be upper class are dicks who think they're better than everyone else
.
The real upper class ones (Hello, I'm Vicount DeFancypants the 16th) are actually pretty decent and polite people, or at least they've always been to me, albit not as much as are the so called "working class" (though that said I don't see many of those here)

Middle class Jones's really are two faced and not all that freindly, but when you're reliant upon other people...Yeah, you've gotta try harder not to piss off or belittle them.

Mmm, boss just bought lunch at Ruth's Chris. The people there were very personable. Crabtini is awesome!
