^^Maybe in Cali.


Edit: My post was responding to suchfriends. But now that pbradley beat me, I think what I said is even funnier...on many levels.

in fact, a good deal of poor and lower class white folks don't even work!


There's this thing called "Blue Collar Comedy"- Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall and some other super annoying people.

well that is most definitely true, but I think places like the Midwest, the Northeast and the dirty South have similar demographics, where "non-whites" make up the majority of what the census bureou labels "working class"

the South's population is 50% black
the Midwest is becoming increasingly hispanic (chicago has the second highest mexican population in the US)
and and Northeast is a longstanding domain for immigrant groups and "minorities"

Not all, of course, I'm not going to stereotype them, but I live in a hick town and a LOT of people fit that, uh, "stereotype".


It's the wet-liberal dream - create a straw man argument to be eternally opposed to, never query one's own values because 'at least I'm not some redneck racist'.

"I'm not being funny, I've got mates who are [x], but they eat their own babies. Believe me [in this severely unsubstantiated claim], I know". Because internet italics are always proof.

Not getting at ASP particularly, just the circuitous/ bad logic.

Really? Only liberals create straw man arguments in order to dismiss opposition?
