I was asked a question... What is considered elegant if you are rich, but trashy if you are poor.

My response.: Speaking a 2nd language.

Got some confused looks, so I explained.

If you are rich, speaking more than one language is seen as a sign of being educated, well travelled and civilised. But if you are poor, you get branded as some lazy, uneducated immigrant here to steal other peoples jobs whilst also claiming all of the benefits... at least that's how the bigots like to portray it.

Saw a few light bulbs going of in peoples faces.

Remember... you can give people the opportunity to reflect on the way they have been conditioned to think, with just a few well chosen words.
