I think the idea of seeing a situation and replacing the races with white people works for me. I’m not sure the actual scene, but if there were a group of white people dressed in hip-hop clothes with open drinks standing in my driveway after dark I would be both scared and pissed.
It’s quite ok to be classist. Honestly, I think you have to remember that the people in the all white neighborhoods don’t ever have to worry about this kind of guilt, and you do, so cut yourself some slack.
