Based on my encounters with enough of both white and blue collar whites, I came to this conclusion:
The white collars have limited racism. They are paid at least $35-$50 per hour for their lowest rankers. Their house is cheap. Their food is cheap. Their car is cheap. So they have more than enough to get by. Further they don't usually travel. They will just hurdle together in their houses singing happy halloweens. They are a very happy lot. So when they see lesser humans like me, the yellowskin. They are naturally curious about their little pet. They will toy with it. Resist not. Therein lies your best take. You can ask for the sky and they will happily agree. Tell them a soap opera. They will bait, hook, sinker and line. They see no reason to play the race card. They felt in every sense of the word - superior. They would be kind. However, one caveat: If you do receive kindness, repay it in time. Never let karma plays your backside.
The blue collars on the other hand is extremely racist. Visit a big store. They would ignore you even though you are a big paying customer. Eat in a restaurant, they would serve you last and would not come for your refill, let alone ask. When you asked complicated questions, they would give you replies like you couldn't have afforded it. Why don't you ask the professionals instead? They don't have such professional services. Yet, their signages screamed to provide such professional services for free or low fees. If you don't have ten grands, don't try to get help, they are expensive. At every turn or corner, they would try to pretend that they are helpful, smiley, but deep down they are racist.
I don't blamed them. What can life afford them? They are only paid $6-$10 per hour. With this pay, they can barely rent a house (double income some more), fuck only blur chicks, screaming kids and little food on the table. Their frustration is why don't employers give them a good pay and some recognition for their hard work. Hard work possibly. Quality work no way. So every day, they have to mill their noses to the ground.
Now this blur-fucked yellowskin comes along, this is gold. He will let go every frustration-of-the-day on this poor yellowskin. Two mis-fits of the society hurdled together for the good go at this racism game. How charming!
It is best to ignore these overtures and concentrate on the way ahead. You can't try to win over these losers. Even old immigrants exhibit this lousy behaviour. Ignore them all. These fuckers can never advance your station in life. Stay away from them. If you can DIY, do it. It is never too late to learn a menial skill. Take it as an exercise. Else, get them to do it after checking with 10 thousand vendors. You need to do your home work. Haste is bad for your money prowess. Btw, internet is your life saviour.
Btw, don't bother to improve your language with the locals. You can never blend in. Just speak your pigeon English, i.e., just be yourself, i.e., gay as a lark. With money, these neighbours will laugh at your slightest jokes. I have already made my neighbour shovels the snow off my pavement whenever I am away. Of course for a small fee. Now my neighbours are all smile with me.
Use money to buy tough love, you bet!
