Yes, the divide between the poor and the rich is wide. Though I don&#x27;t know how it compares to race. That&#x27;s really subjective.<p>My friends make anywhere from 10 bucks an hour to over half a million every year. My wealthy friends are incredibly nice but sometimes they are awkward. Multiple rich people have asked me about the kind of boat I own. I don&#x27;t have a boat. Sometimes I make my poor friends feel the same way. They are jealous that I can afford a mortgage.<p>I also have white co-workers and black co-workers. My white co-workers are incredibly nice but sometimes they are super awkward. They ask me questions about chopsticks and interment camps. As for my black friends, well, sometimes they deal with worse.<p>Bonus: Everyone&#x27;s favorite astrophysicist on the challenges of being black <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=inz1sdhsMCU" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=inz1sdhsMCU</a>
