Sometimes I feel uncomfortable, but only when I really think about it. One time I was shopping in a neighborhood of Minneapolis called Uptown. I told my dad how I thought it was a neat place - very artsy and bohemian, with lots going on there. I said I'd like to buy a house there when I was older. He said, sort of quietly, 'It is an interesting place, but it's very expensive.' I felt stupid, like I should've known it was pricey just by looking around. And I still have this stereotype about the snobby, selfish rich that's hard to get rid of, when everyone at school is working-class kids who want to be rich but don't have anything good to say about people who already are. When I'm with rich people, I only really feel uncomfortable when they're talking about things I can't afford, especially when they're talking like they take it for granted. All the inequality really makes me mad.
