Did you see the special Class Matters section in the NY Times this weekend?
ABOUT THE SERIES
A team of reporters spent more than a year exploring ways that class - defined as a combination of income, education, wealth and occupation - influences destiny in a society that likes to think of itself as a land of unbounded opportunity.
Sounds like the approach they took to their How Race is Lived series back in 2000. THAT was an excellent series.
And you can still get to it at the NY Times site. I'll give you the links later. I think I want to suck it into my personal archives first.
LATER: Okay, these guys have all the text. You don't need the accompanying pictures and such, do you?

man i HATED that series. with a passion. reminded me of the journalistic version of clinton's anemic "conversation on race." horrible. i'm expecting more here, but am not holding my breath.
Matter of taste, I guess. I
Matter of taste, I guess. I enjoyed seeing how little it takes to make The White Man feel oppressed.
