something to think about
- My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don’t show favoritism. Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,” have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?

I think that socioeconomic stereotypes are more influential than those of race or gender. For instance, a wealthy person of any race will look down on a poorer person as though they were a loser, scum, bum, or trash. Even though they may not have been afforded the same opportunities or may not have been able to take advantage of those opportunities because of the stereotypes put on them.
Granted, racial stereotypes have an impact on the lives and actions of all races. However, the positive racial stereotypes put on whites may affect poorer white people because they are believed to be wealthy and can produce as such. Furthermore, socioeconomic stereotypes encompass all races, religions, genders, and sexual orientations.
