I'm agree with you on the fact of classism. It's not really classism but culturalism. If you live in a middle or upperclass neighbhorhood and you act "normal" like everyone else, most likely there won't be a problem.But, and this is the problem most people have with bus terminals and section 8, if you're going to yell and carry on, and blast music or Louis Farrakan at 3am, throw trash all around, and other things in the like, you are not going to be accepted. And like I seen in a college in PA, some will make excuses such as, "You don't understand our culture". Not going to do the whole story, but after the culturism is reversed to some racism thing, it doesn't help but hurt the whole cause. It's not a crutch or a get out of jail free card. Just follow the damn rules and be considerate. Basically, when in Rome do what the Romans do, or be yourself but don't piss the locals off. I'm not about to be building any Temples in Iran so don't you do it and make excuses too. :) Or if that didn't work, we live in a society, so as long as everyone is civil, there ought to be zero problems and issues. |
