The rich ones are bad but the poor ones are worse on this tip because they are somehow more blind to white privilege. They always confuse it with class privilege, by proclaiming “well I didn’t get any benefit of getting into college” or “I don’t make more than- hold on- ma’am the ice cream machine is broken. It’s…
