Here’s an old white guy who agrees with you pretty much 100%. Not poor but non-rich, spent my (overlong) teaching career in inner-city schools, not as a white savior but b/c any warm body will do there and I needed a job. Discovered along the way that measures of status derived from sterling credentials aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. Wear your bathing suit w/pride!
