That's my point. He's a frumpy-looking, corrupt, gangster who lacks any sort of eloquence or class.

How do you judge someone who is literally allergic to clothing, jewelry and most of tho trappings by which people are unfarily judged? Do you herd them out of your store before they make a purchase?

I developed and perfected a snob-0-meter during the time I spent thousands of dolaars trying to try to get a handle on a very painful skin disease.

I spend an average of $500 every time I'm in a TJ's store.. To them I am a satisfied customer. To me it's chump change spent for a small measure or relief.

There are a lot of snobs in this world. I donot shop where my money is not welcome.

Those are things I am assessing, not your race, or level of education....

a lot of this depends on your age, i am 50 and grew up in 60652 / 60620, ashburn & gresham , what was once a working class area, stay at home mom's, when the ethnic invasion
crossed ashland ave and moved west, neighborhoods that were quiet turned into ghetto's and dangerous places at any hour. who was to blame :

race
culture

let's see - european americans : sub catagory

irish, polish, russians, english, france, swedish, danish, spanish
germans, did not create the ghetto or the crime.

so who is left...???

Ethnic invasion lol. Are you a cop? If so cops like you only make complications for dirty ethnic criminals like myself. Oh how I love the fact that my old man lives in "the most affluent area of the Midwest" and constantly get pulled over in my own neighborhood, got a gun pulled on my little brother and I after accidentally breaking my window with a football got tossed to the ground with a gun shoved in the back of my head after I was thought to be stealing my own car which was apparently too nice for me to be driving. Let's not forget some "bro" I'm wrigleyville starting a fight with me I defend myself and the cop takes me out and arrests me. Yeah. Can't wait til the baby boomers like yourself are all retired and out of positions of power...better yet dead.
