It tickles me beyond words when someone is so scared of my opinions that they have to mention what they think a person did for a living---as though those with jobs they consider low end aren't entitled to their opinions . In your book garbage men aren't human enough to offer opinions and should just shut up.   My reality is I'm living the dream---no matter how low and crime ridden Anchorage sinks.  People like me pay their taxes ,  hurt no one , and are there for people in an emergency .  As for the color of one's skin---maybe you can explain why most the names and faces of the people committing most of the crime in Anchorage---aren't white ?
