Are you saying that rich white kids adopted ghetto fashion before poor white kids did? Doesn't ring very true to me.

Rich white kids also have more contact with ghetto kids than poor white kids do, with lower upper middle class white kids in the expensive burbs having the least contact with ghetto kids.

It's not a question of contact, it's a question of seeing that fashion in the media, i.e. via rap stars and so on.

I didn't understand this. Why would rich white kids have any more contact with ghetto kids?

They both live in cities.
