Along with these labels come certain assumptions and associations. Politically, it is thought, the rich tend to vote Republican and the poor Democratic. The poor live in desolate urban landscapes, the rich in their McMansions. Statistical generalizations contribute to stereotypes about race and poverty, and indeed there are some striking figures: today the poverty rate among non-Hispanic whites is around nine percent, while the rate for blacks is nearly 25 percent."
