Cause I obviously wasn't speaking in generalities. I was obviously saying that every last poor person was a carbon copy cookie cut out. You got me.
Sure I've met poor folks who I clicked with. My best friend comes from a poor background, but he's a neurotic, socially awkward nerd, so we're cool. But the ratio of poor nerds (and other kinds of nerds) vs. middle class nerds is disproportionate, hence why the number of my friends who are middle class is also disproportionate.

You seem to be defending your point in circles to back track how stereotypical your comment was.

No, I've explained my point many times. People just like to go off half-cocked when they see a controversial statement cause it's easier than actually considering what the person is actually trying to say. It's why trolls work and it's why politicians have to read off of a script.

I have rich friends too, do you have a problem with rich people? If you can't relate to poor people then as a "middle class" white boy you must have no common ground with them based on what you've indicated.

Honestly I've never really known any rich people that I can think of so I wouldn't know.
