So? I'm not even sure how true it is, since many of us white New Yorkers live here precisely because we don't have a lot in common with "white Middle Americans." (And there are many kinds of white Middle Americans - they're not all bellicose racists. Maybe you've met a few.) But it's not really relevant to the discussion anyway, which is about how people react when they're under physical attack.
