Mentioning things

[mmcirvin]

So which is it? Do people constantly talk about class in America because they don't want to mention race, or do people constantly talk about race in America because they don't want to mention class? Because apparently both things are true and I want to know which taboo to fight first. Or are these different groups of mentioners?

Poor white people talk about class. Rich black people talk about race. Others suit it to their audiences.
