upper-middle-class Americans have embraced behavior codes that put cultivating successful children at the center of life

Umm, the codes of behavior are pretty simple:

1. Get at least a college education in a marketable degree.
2. Stay out of trouble.
3. Don't do drugs.
4. Don't have children out of wedlock.
5. Don't get into unsustainable debt.
6. Be polite and friendly to people...don't be an a-hole.
7. Don't drink excessively, don't smoke, and wear your seat belt.
8. And you might want to go to church at least every once in a while.

So, so many layers to peel through. Insensitively invited her to an upscale delicatessen. Structural bigotry has kept this woman from learning Italian and knowing about the intricacies of salted, cured meats. And the cherry on top is, despite all of the foregoing, he tosses out "Mexican" as some cheap, easily understandable food that everyone can relate to.

Bravo.

Yeah that a-hole definitely played the race card here.
