Racism and Class-ism

I see racism and class-ism every day. As a white student at Bishop Kearney people assume that I live in Brighton or Webster, but I live in the city. I have friends that live in Webster and Greece, and it is very obvious that they are nervous to go to my house. It's funny to see my friends' reactions to kids playing in the street (I live on a dead end) because in the suburbs they play in their giant backyards.They live in all white neighborhoods where every house is basically the same. My neighborhood is diverse. They are not all black and Puerto Rican, a lot of the people on my street are white Italians. I'm sure my perception of the suburbs is different than someone who actually lives in the suburbs, though, just like their perception of the city is different than mine. I see the suburbs as the town in Edward Scissorhands.
