Actually, I would think that the more wealthy you are, the less race matters. Middle class professionals and the rich are far less likely to run into issues with racism, or to have a victim mentality they would make them expect they would be treated badly by others for their skin color.

I would expect that "poor white trailer park trash" would be much more likely to have a victim mentality that would make them thing they would be persecuted for their race.

I'm white and I recently dated a rather attractive black woman. I can't say I ever saw her treated differently because of her race. I saw her treated favorably because she was an attractive woman, but didn't see any evidence of racism.

I even took her to a NASCAR race where if you listen to liberals you would think there would be a concentration of white, racist rednecks. She made friends of lots of strangers around where we were tailgating and once again I saw nothing to make me think people were showing any racism.

I must admit I was a little nervous because I've been told how racism is a problem, and the whole taboo of an interracial couple might cause people to act differently towards us, however I never saw any evidence of it.

Of course the fact that she is attractive, outgoing, and doesn't act like a victim probably factored into that somehow.

Political correctness has "white people" talking quietly to each other behind closed doors, while it doesn't prevent "black people" from telling you in your face. We have personal experience with both behind-the-back and in-your-face. I prefer in-your-face. At least then we know who to avoid.
