[quote=walterwhite]Davelj nailed it and I’m gonna use that word. I’m not racist I just don’t want my kids hanging out with substantially lower class people. Culturist. I like that.
Although now that I think about it my kids have some pretty broke kind if lower class friends. Ah well.[/quote]
And obviously this goes well beyond simplistic notions of “economic class” as well. To use an extreme example, you probably have more in common culturally with a taiwanese immigrant that came to to the US 30 years ago and stresses independence, work and education to his kids, but may not have much in the way of financial resources, than you would with some dirtbag that won the lottery. I would say that “values” trump finances in how we go about discriminating.
