[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8526857, member: 18"] Note that I confined my claim specifically to having been[I] impacted by racism[/I]. There are some attitudes that just don't roll out casually if you've been impacted by it, and/or are concerned about and the issues around it. As I said, I agree that there's broader stuff that's harder to quantify. It is indeed hard to tell how wealthy people are, for example. So the rest of what you're saying? Sure. Re: correlation with wealth/education, actually in the US this stuff correlates pretty much with race and gender and not much else, nowadays, as has been borne out by an awful lot of polling by all sides involved. It did used to correlate with wealth/education though, especially in the 1990s. Now often there's an inaccurate assumption but easy-to-make that people who speak well about social issues are likely "rich kids" as they tended to be in, say, 1990. [/QUOTE]
