I am, but for a different reason. I'm in Orange county, CA now, but grew up and went to school in suburbs 40 mins from downtown LA, I won't say what city maybe I might offend someone? The kids there are known for being big time spoiled brats (as are most of the kids in OC now as well). Brand new BMWs for 16th bday that kind of thing. (and crashing them for racing too) But my family was always on the lower middle class side. My dad worked 2 full time jobs, and my mom worked full time as well. My grandparents worked until in their 70s (even though they were highly respected upper class citizens in their home country) as waiter and seamstress.

I don't like saying what high school or college I went to. Maybe it was just my year? I don't know, but most my friends feel the same way. Around here it seems you just say that city and people think "brat". i don't really like that.
