I don't know if it's an apology or merely an observation but I live in NY City, I'm non union -for better and worse- and I work with illegals. As I've said before, going back to the experiences in my childhood, I have a hard time with the white working class. They carry most of the weight in this country, but I'm from a city with a non-white population of over 50%.
These are all conflicts I live with.
