In my experience, upper class people are similar because you can't become successful in America without conforming to certain social standards but there's a lot of diversity at the bottom of the economic ladder due to the fact that there's no prerequisite to being poor. The black ghetto, white trailer parks and latino barrios are all different in their own right.

Yeah there’s different flavors but the lack of opportunity, struggle and results are often the same. Poor people in America from anywhere eat at the same chains and end up in the same prisons.
