You're confusing class with race. You say "black/asian/latino/insertanydistinctgrouphere" and then contrast it with a "suit". I guess to you "black/asian/latino/insertanydistinctgrouphere" means poor. Who's gonna show more fear a white boy with a case or Michael Powell.

Regardless, I pray it's not as cut and dry as you make it out to be.
