I came across this article this morning and was astounded. Although there has been racist and discriminatory remarks from both political parties, this one takes the cake:

Some highlights of what he said:
"My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed! You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that."
This goes back to what Kim was saying in class last week. A lot of racism and discrimination is preceeded by or tied in with poverty. Unfortunately, a disproportionate amount of minorites fall in this category.
So my question is: Do people dicriminate against others more so because of there SES or because of their race? Is one a stronger influence than the other?
