How has social class affected European immigrant groups?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary but may discuss that social class affected structural integration. The huge majority of the post-1880s European immigrants were working class, and because they entered U.S. society at the bottom of the economic ladder and?0?stayed close to that level for the next half century, ethnic history has been class history. For generations, many groups of Eastern and Southern European immigrants did not acculturate to middle class American culture but to an urban working class, blue collar set of lifestyles and values. Even today, ethnicity for many groups remains interconnected with social class factors. A familiar stereotype of white ethnicity is the hard-hat construction worker.
