Division by race was created by white people for white people and explicitly to keep non-white people from achieving the class statuses white people decided only apply to them but sure. I’ve lived an economically class privileged life. Complete with lots of racism class didn’t prevent.

That’s a tough way to live as a kid. You just want to be happy you got a cool new bike. They spoiled that for you. F*ckers.
