My...700,000 for a house will you look at these poor people?
I'm a child of immigrants as well but I won't pretend that my parents did anything more than live up to the expectations bred into them during to their social class. Class Privilege is a good thing, one that we should be so lucky to give our children.

Seems clear enough: dvt's parents were poor when dvt was a child but eventually earned wealth. dvt certainly wasn't claiming their parents are poor now, so your snark about the house is based on a misunderstanding.
