    Whoa there, please define ‘they’. Is it ALL minorities or just some? Having said that, there is a culture of poverty that surfaces even when people do better financially. Culture is something you inherit from your surroundings/family. Cultural norms are instilled automatically from birth. What is ‘normal’ or second-nature from birth is not easily changed just because you change zip codes. You can take a boy out of the ghetto; but you can’t take the ghetto out of the boy. While this is an oversimplification, for many people it applies. Consider the opposite case. Imagine that you fell from grace and HAD to move to the ghetto. Would you then ‘act and dress’ the way they do in the ghetto, or would you behave in the way that you were raised?
