American culture is just some that is bought and sold, not something that's difficult to obtain or control. I mean sure you can go to New York City to see the vestiges of an older immigrant culture, but that was before Manhattan became Rich People Island.

So deep

I said that IF the poor people of Harlem can go and get a passport, fill out a FAFSA, and get stopped for speeding without getting hassled, then they are bourgeois. I don't believe that is the case.
I do believe, perhaps with some controversy, that the ease of these social interactions means more than income does. But that isn't that controversial, that is why it is "Socioeconomic Status", and not just "Economic Status"


So what about other government assistant programs?

If poor people are constantly applying to food stamps or other form of transfer programs, wouldn't they be more experienced and 'at home" with it just as someone whose being in academia a lot probably is really good at applying for student loans?
