"Inner City People? O-o "

Several Columbia undergrads and grad students I know have cited such attitudes by non-native NYC resident classmates and their parents as one reason why town-gown relations between the Columbia University community and the neighborhood tends to be marginal-poor. Doubly sad that such attitudes are almost always expressed in their experience by classmates/families who are from well-off rural/suburban communities.

Most native-NYC Columbia students IME tend to cringe whenever such attitudes are expressed by fellow Columbians/their parents.
