Young? Yes.
Rich? No, middle-class is more accurate for me.
White? Yes.
Liberal? To an extent regarding the old sense of the word, particularly on the economy, but I'd call myself a conservative.

Probably yes to all four, although the liberal part might be debatable.

How do we control for the rich people who think they're not rich?

By asking them if they have a porsch?

Young. White. Leftist.

Me being rich depends.

I'm certainly not rich, but better off and earn more than most in my age group (which doesn't mean much, because my age-group is generally poor and they spend most of their money on clubs, alcohol, cars and cigarettes).

So I met two out of the four.

I'm 27, white, and liberal. I don't consider myself to be rich, despite the expansive definition offered the OP. Household income is above average, but I cannot in any good conscience say that I or my family is rich. According to the OP's definitions, I would be all of the above.

I think "rich" is really something along the lines of top 10% or maybe 2x median income in a particular area.

Young, not rich (I'm earning the average graduate salary), white, not liberal.

3.) White or not white?

Technically half white, but I'm visibly brown, so not white.


According to the 2010 census report on White People:

DEFINITION OF WHITE USED IN THE 2010 CENSUS
According to OMB, “White” refers to a person having origins in any
of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.
The White racial category includes people who marked the “White”
checkbox. It also includes respondents who reported entries such
as Caucasian or White; European entries, such as Irish, German,
and Polish; Middle Eastern entries, such as Arab, Lebanese, and
Palestinian; and North African entries, such as Algerian, Moroccan,
and Egyptian.


So many "visibly brown" people are white according to the US government.  I understand that this doesn't match the OP, but then neither does a realistic consideration of "rich" match the OP.

Personally, I did not fill out the race and ethnicity questions on the form in last census.  I think I'll leave those sections blank again in 2020.  I only mention it for your information.

That's a rather broad definition of "rich".

it's to counter the distinctly american notion that no matter how wealthy you are you're definitely just "middle class"

Anyone who has to sell their labor (or whose parents have to sell their labor) is not rich.

You realise that's pretty much everyone?

The vast majority, yes (other than the parasitic classes and those completely detached from the means of production).

Your constant recitations of 60 year old worker's party pamphlets are getting really annoying.

Tell me, how are you connected to the 'means of production'?

This, but don't consider myself old, but am over 30.

I fall under the white with some combination (in my case, Asian Indian) category. With current cultural perceptions on race and ethnicity, I'm still a visible minority, but it will be interesting to see if mixed people like me (as well as Arabs, Persian, White Hispanics, and North Africans) will be accepted as white in the future, like southern and southeastern Europeans were gradually accepted as white.

I have a super-white name that couldn't hurt on job interviews, but wonder how checking the "other" box affected my college acceptance. People still refer to me as "Indian" before they remember the white part. The funniest and most accurate description of my skin tone is "sand colored" Tongue

I'm young and white, but that's about it.
