Like if you
drive a truck, your more of a blue collar type person who probably likes the outdoors.

Joe, Joe, Joe. Here Poet had you moving the right direction, you take one step forward, but then take four steps back.

Do you think Matt, Bob, and I are blue collar persons?

Do you think Matt and I like the outdoors?

Poet can't help you unless you open your mind and are willing to learn something.

Your true definition is all that matters. The rest is just temporary BS. You are still speaking of classification. Because something is genrally true doesn't mean it is always true. You'd do better to deal with people on a person by person basis. I make no judgements or put any classification upon anyone I have not personally met because I prefer to either know the true nature of a person by meeting and conversing with that person, or to not know them at all. I can't classify or judge a person I haven't met because that would be doing so on an assumption. I met Sam Walton once and had I judged him by his appearance, I would have thought he was a farmer or something. A flannel button down shirt and blue jeans was his dress on the day I met him. He didn't look like much but was in fact a very wealthy man. We can go on for days with such preconceptions but the fact is, they are never 100% accurate or even close to accurate. How about the old one that says black people are stupid? Or the one that says white people can't play basketball? Or women are bad drivers? Or people who drive trucks are rednecks? Any broad classification is inherently racist. Meet the man, then judge him as you will. But at least have the decency to meet him first.
