Nobody said anything about "low class Italians." You are either misunderstanding or making things up.

Why would you consider "lower Middle Class" to be an insult?

Maybe we need a working definition. I suggest" <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_middle_class>

"In American society, the middle class may be divided into two or three sub-groups. When divided into two parts, the lower middle class, also sometimes simply referred to as "middle class," consists of roughly one third of households, roughly twice as large as the upper middle class. Common occupation fields are semi-professionals, such as school teachers or accountants, small business owners and skilled craftsmen. These individuals commonly have some college education or perhaps a Bachelor's degree and earn a comfortable living. Already among the largest social classes, rivaled only by the working class, the American lower middle class is diverse and growing."

The word "class" used in this context refers only to SES.

And to be honest, you don't need a degree in anything to be a mechanic or a contractor. For ASE certifications, you have to pass the tests. To be a contractor, you have to have enough journey level experience (documented) and pass a test.

Could you come to NY and afford a $400K house with taxes over $10K?
