but I've seen plenty of white folks today, which is certainly about class. I tend to think economics probably played a greater role than perhaps race.

As I was discussing with my daughter, I was shocked at the number of people who did not have a vehicle. I don't know how the public transportation system was set up in NO, but I know like in New York City for instance and D.C., friends don't own a car. I'm out west so we have a couple.

There's also the definition of 'those .... privilege' which could mean someone like me who earns about 35K a year, has an auto and stays connected to the world via the internet. I don't know about the evacuation warnings in NO and surrounding areas. I know from being on the web, orders were issued. How that was disseminated around the communities, I don't know.
