"The waffle waitress (who was obviously fictitious) in the "What you readin' for?" bit is one of the bits that these id-pol clowns bring up but I really think he's pointing at the attitude not the fact that she's a waitress(or a woman, or a one-eyed lesbian dwarf or any other group). " The obvious target of the piece wasn't a waffle waitress because she was working class but that anti-intellectualism which is rampant amongst all sections of US society and there's no shortage of it here either. I don't think it actually was fictitious btw. I have a friend that told me his wife has said that they shouldn't really be friends with us. When pressed as to why she replied that we weren't really "their kind of people...". When he asked her to clarify that, she replied: "Well, they read books..." - Same story.
