As a European, the apparent fixation on race much of the US seems to still have (judging by media I See) is weird and extremely anachronistic. Why would you not look at socioeconomic status instead?
Its good if you guys use new metrics now. I’m not sure it really was good enough-I wouldn’t know, but I can’t imagine
Because a culture of shared suffering is the only coherent cultural divide left in America.

Even some rich people look poor and poor people can look rich.

But looking rich/poor does not equate to opportunity and perspective.
