It's a wonder you didn't become pregnant!
You're right about some people having the wrong idea about white people, but I don't know if I'd call it offensive. I think it's kinda funny.
I grew up poor. I never played polo, I've never owned a Mercedes, and I certainly don't belong to any golf clubs (HA! golf clubs...). I paid for my college either out of the several jobs I was working or through scholarships I earned. I fought tooth and nail. I didn't do this for anyone else, though. I did it for me. The only way for me to be offended would be if I wasn't true to my struggle.
