In my experience, poor Whites tend to be very nasty and mean people. Now that I live in AZ, which has a sizeable population of poor and uneducated Whites, I absolutely hate dealing with them and I try to avoid them by staying in my more affluent area. I have had to report more nasty behavior by employees to their managers than I ever have in my life. Poor Whites also tend to be very envious of Black people who have more and live better.
It's interesting however, that poor whites are not negatively stereotyped across the board, like poor black people. And quite telling that poor whites are not viewed as representative of all whites, like poor black people are.

Umm, yes they are. Ever heard the terms poor white trash or trailer trash??? Seriously, you're really overreaching now.
poor whites can be as nasty and are treated the same way.

Reason: flaming
Funny, there are no comments about this woman being single w/ lots of out of wedlock children at home. And no one has made any references to her (or her race) being undesirable, like they do when the subject involves black women.
Let's say that's true. Why would a cashier behave that way? The most likely reason would be that previous negative experiences with unreasonable black people put him or her in defensive mode. Maybe we should talk about "non-black" priviledge to explain all those situations where non-black people are not negatively impacted by the rude, aggressive behavior of many blacks.
So all you have is speculation. Maybe we should talk about your tendency to make negative generalizations about entire groups of people based on racial bias.
again...some stereotypes are true.
experience means everything.
and for someone harping about 'white privilege', it really doesn't exist.
There is an AA for white people, and there is no united white college fund to name a few.
So spare us the over reaching bull**** about white privilege.

I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy.
