When wealthy people who move to NYC talk about New York as a homogeneous place where everyone is obsessed with money and sending their kids to expensive daycares

And you just want to shake them and ask them if they've ever stepped one inch outside of their social bubble

Like, I just saw this Twitter thread about nepotism, and it's like, sure, but you're talking about top companies that most people will only ever interact with as customers or low-level employees? If they characterize your everyday experience of NYC, you too are WILDLY privileged

I complain about rich white people being annoying, but they're mostly just trustafarians who are slumming it, I'm not hanging out exclusively with Wall Street bros and then wondering why everyone in this city of 8 million is a Wall Street bro

People like this invented the term "bridge and tunnel" because they were too far up their own asses.

"Where are all these tacky ethnic people coming from? Must be Queens! Haha, I live in an East Village loft and attended NYU so I'm superior to these ugly, badly-behaved, cheap losers!"

It's the real life equivalent of people complaining about highly specific things on social media because they've curated their experience so narrowly.

"Everyone on Tumblr is always posting porn!"

Uh...you follow nothing but porn accounts?
