Then, there's the issue of middle-class people appropriating working-class identity.

Its wonderful that your parents were such educational role models. Neither of mine went to college. They were fine when I was an undergrad but got really weird when I started talking about wanting to go to grad school. My stepfather told me I would never finish. They suddenly became anti-education. So it must have been nice to have parents who supported your educational goals. Are you working on your MA or PhD? Anyway good luck in college. I know it can be very time consuming. I did have one question, I don't understand what you mean by the quote above. Can you give an example?
