I think I could relate to people easier if we're in the same class, regardless of race. I don't know, it's not as big a deal to me anymore.

I can definitely say that 95% of the differences between me and my SO (who is white) are class related. He grew up a la "mom moved everytime the rent was due" whereas I grew up middle class with both parents (for a while). I was surprised because I did expected it to be cultural, but its not.
