I don't care if you are working-class - so am I. My father was a non-union worker in the steel industry - frequently unemployed.
I didn't say that there was less racism in the working-class communities, or that there was no racism. I dunno where you've been, but if you spent time around the UMC college kids, you would know that they subscribe to these stereotypes all the while saying and doing all sorts of nasty things. I don't enjoy being around them and I don't enjoy working with them.
In case you didn't notice, Mayor Daley got elected by huge numbers in all of Chicago. You know jack shit about being Irish and what it means. You don't have to be Irish, or even working-class to be a redneck. Any sentence that starts with "you people need to..." is arrogant, bigoted and self-righteous.
What's next? The Italians and the mafia? Or how 'bout the Polish and their rabid red-baiting?
