In black (high) society, it has everything to do with color --- or, more accurately, skin shade. "Grade" of hair, eye color, lip shape, nose shape --- these things matter.
White people on this thread claim there is prejudice within so-called ethnic white groups --- and there is. But if you take a Cockney girl, and teach her how to move, how to speak, how to converse and how to dress and how to dance, then take her to a high-society ball, she'll fit right in. No one there will know the difference.
They even made a movie about it.
However, if you're dark-skinned, if your hair is nappy, if your eyes are dark brown, if your lips and nose are broad, no amount of polish, no amount of education or sophistication is going to ease your entry into black high society. Doesn't matter how pretty you are, or how much money you have, you'll always be "ghetto" to these people, simply because of the shade of your skin.
It's not the same.

I disagree with your statement and find it racist and false. It has to do with the fact that Michelle is a bi*ch. She has no class. She wears hideous clothes that are too small most of the time and don’t match. She wears shoes that don’t go with her outfit. She exits a car like a football player tumbling out. She crosses her legs like a man. She stand and walks like a man. She has no poise or grace and that’s why they call her ghetto.
I always assumed that's why Michael Jackson went to such lengths to change his skin color and endure the plastic surgery to change the shape of his nose.
