Who will society say it is fine to pick on next?

It used to be seen as acceptable to pick on people for being of African decent. Same goes for Irish or Polish people. and many more

Right now it’s acceptable to pick on people for being fat, smokers, poor or from the South. Soon, that will probably go away as well.

So my question is- who’s next?

I think it will be people who live in the Suburbs.

Rich people move out of cities to escape ‘crime’. They soon want the same level of services they once had in the city. So grocery stores, gas stations and dry cleaners open up in the new suburbs. The people who work at these new minimum wage jobs need to live closer because those jobs don’t typically pay enough to sustain a car-heavy household.

So eventually they move out to apartments newly created for the suburban working poor. The original suburbanites feel that crime increases so they move back to the city- into newly gentrified areas and large downtown condos; pushing the lower classes outwards to the suburbs.

So I think within fifteen years the new ‘acceptable’ insult will be to mock those who live in suburbs.

Who do you think is next?
