Yeah agreed. Racial profiling is still racial profiling, using euphemisms like "lower class" and "minority" instead of the usual slurs doesn't make it okay.
Agreed. Granted, it's anecdotal, but everyone bringing my food (though, it's been about 10 years) was (or appeared to be) white and all had a better vehicle than me.
My anecdote is that I've received Taco Bell orders from luxury cars and dudes on bikes who can't speak English.
It turns out everybody is in need of money lately. I know the point of the language in OP is meant to point out a bad mentality, but when there's no effort to emphasize it (i.e. quotation marks) then it feels to be in bad taste.
