Today I was riding on the subway and attempting to go to a cafe in Brooklyn. Well, I went on the wrong way and began going into the Bronx. After I corrected myself and decided not to go to the cafe and just go back to Midtown.
As I was sitting on the train, I realize there are thousands of people who ride the train and who are part of different social classes. The people on the train to the Bronx did not look at me funny especially since I was the only white person on the train nor did they mock me. I really appreciated the fact that they did not look at me or treat me any different.
Furthermore, here in New York different social classes and races interact with one another on a daily basis. Yes, like other cities and states there are the rich, poor, and middle classes. However, they are forced to interact with each other and they cannot seclude themselves from each other. I like it because it makes everyone more accepting of one another because you are going to run into them regardless of how much money you make or where you live.
