<p>When I left SoCal, I was really surprised by the whiteness of our new small NorCal town, it was also an intriguing dynamic to meet a new low socioeconomic class- essentially white trash- who were totally content (in appearance at least) with their lot in life wheras the OC in which I grew up was full of Mexican, SE Asian, and all sorts of other immigrants, all trying to better themselves. I was amazed at the overwhelming whiteness of our new area and the disinterest in improving ones lot in life.</p>
