Im saying beginning an argument with something like "oh youre probably just a rich white kid" is actually not really offensive at all.

Well it should be.

Public schools are horrible. Not only that, but if youre poor that doesnt help and youre probably an unemployed idiot drop out. So sure rich white kids get better schools spoon fed to them. Thats a pretty nice advantage. Odds are theyre smarter than you. They have a much better education. Deal with it.

Then some idiot started a debate on how drug dealers are just as smart as pharmacists or even doctors, pretty much proving my point on how dumb he is. They have awesome skills not everybody has like the ability to look around them at all times, and how to identify police cars. Jedi kinda stuff. Then number four claims because he grew up around poor people, hes the poor person public relations chairman.

Holy shit, now I know that you're quite the unintelligent goof.


I am the one that said all those things, ONE PERSON, except I didn't say that dealers are just as smart as pharmacists or doctors, I just said that not everybody has what it takes to deal drugs successfully. You obviously cannot comprehend the concept of 'street smarts', it's just alien to you because you are a rotten sheltered little brat; why you don't understand that people use "rich white kid" as an insult just shows how dense you are.

I never sai that I am the poor person publis relations chairman, I just said that since I grew up around poor people, I have some experience with what they're like, which is way more than your rich white ass can say.

Lately Ive seen a bunch of "youre probably just a rich white kid blah blah blah". Not directed towards me, but I see it. Then comes the "my family was poor growing up blah blah blah Im hard core". This got me thinking. Id be proud as fuck to be a rich white kid. Odds are if you were poor growing up and went to a public school...youre probably a drop out lazy fucking idiot with no job. Its not like rich white kids live a sheltered protected life and have no idea what the hell is going on with the world. They have every educational advantage as the next guy...maybe even more.

Just because you had to struggle growing up because of your broke ass parents and you got made fun of for being poor and you think youre "street smart" doesnt actually give you any advantage at all. If anything youre at a dis-advantage.

The argument itself is moot...

No it isn't, and you presented it pretty satisfactorily.

#4 you're all over the place and contradicting yourself. first you say in response to anon 1 that the statement being a rich white kid should be offensive..now you're agreeing with #10 who said "the rich white kid stereotype is about social ignorance".

This thread is LOL. Being rich or white doesn't make you a decent or smart human being. Neither does being poor and black/chinese/etc.

That being said. I grew up poor, and I am white. My group of friends crossed an amalgam of races/economic classes growing up.

The rich white kid stereotype is about social ignorance. I met lots of them growing up too. These kids weren't terrible people(generally), they just assumed everyone had every advantage they had. They made fun of me, and my poor friends for wearing hand me downs, and using beat-up sony tape players, and ghetto-blasters, when they had all new everything(lol, we even got made fun for reading books).

Being a Rich White Kid implies that you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, and that you didn't have to work hard to get the things you wanted in life. Whereas people who talk about their poor youths, though I honestly can't say I know anyone who brags about how poor they were, are proud of the fact that they are self made individuals, and that they got what the wanted in life because they were able to exercise discipline and hard work.

The argument itself is moot, and only increases social ignorance:Some rich kids are fuck-ups, some are ethical and hardworking.

On a side note one thing that I really don't like seeing is rich white suburbanite kids that act like they are poor for some reason, or ghetto. They have opportunities that alot of people don't have, but they blow it for some reason.
Lately this seems to be the growing trend among kids that are under 18.

My only guess is to fit in with people around them? For the same reason poor people would spend $100 on a pair of jeans, trying to impress people with his bling and cash. Why you cant just be yourself is beyond me...

Poor people don't spend that much money on clothes, you're just showing everyone how truly racist you are--you just see some "ghetto" person who wears nice clothes and you assume they're poor, and doing it to impress others. Seriously, just stop while you're ahead, you're making yourself look extremely foolish.
