My take: I seriously doubt that JTS had any intention of being divisive. Most people in the U.S. would be aware that there has been a lot of "blue collar" rhetoric around that is deliberately intended to be divisive. This comes accross more as a chance to discuss how any one of us actually relates to the phenomenom, and, as I referred to before, I think we have for the most part taken the opportunity to say in effect "blue collar schmoo color, this doesn't define anyone in any legitimate way."
