Why were they dogging Norwalk, CT?!? LOL!


What? Is Norwalk "ghetto" by wasp standards?

reply

I guess Norwalk is a step down from Westport or Stepford, or wherever they are. People will use anything, even geography, to feel superior to others, a classic indication of insecurity and low self-esteem.

True. Once on Modern Family Gloria, who hails from Colombia, made a slighting reference to how crazy Peruvians were, and needless to say social media exploded with indignant Peruvians.

Funny you should mention that. Once upon a time I considered all Hispanics to be on a fairly equal plane, and thought they did too. Then I got a job in Jersey City which has a pretty high Hispanic population.

It's there that I discovered a startling amount of racial division and discrimination between the Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Columbians, Mexicans and the rest of the Central and South Americans.

Proving, once again, that racism exists in all races.

I live in southern Connecticut, and, believe me, snobby people in Westport and Weston would absolutely look down on Norwalk! (And I am not suggesting that all people from Westport and Weston are snobs.)

Scarsdale and Bedford, NY; Ridgewood, NJ -- snobs are everywhere.
