that is a. SO DEROGATORY and b. VERY TELLING
It is very telling. I use to live in the old southend & we called all of the girls from the nicer neighborhoods who came to party on our side of town "Rich girls" because to us they were! LOL we didn't have inground pools & tennis courts in our backyard. If you're from Toledo go take a drive around the old southend.... Western, Broadway, South st & then drive back into the neighborhoods off of those main streets. THEN go drive through Springfield & notice the difference. To us, they were rich, compared to what we had & what kind of enviroment we were living in.
I agree 100%, I grew up on the westside of Chicago and nobody had any pools, lol, it was the local park pool for us, everybody we knew lived in apartments just about, if you had a house even your were upscale, lol! The suburbs always seem way more "rich" to us city kids too. What did we know about loans and mortgages and such, we didn't know that people were in debt for these things, we just thought Wow, they're loaded!! Same mentality here.
