I was a Navy recruiter in metro Detroit in the early "90s. The culture they are raised in is toxic. The kids just do not know what they do not know.

So true. One of my jobs as Command Safety PO for a squadron was screening and indoctrinating new squadron members. Some of the most difficult people to deal with were raised on the plantation of the inner city. Many of them came with a huge chip on their shoulder, looking for prejudice everywhere..... I was only too glad to be the first one to knock the chip off..... In most cases, once they found out that they weren't going to be treated any differently than anyone else and that they were in the same boat as everyone else, they'd adjust their attitudes accordingly and integrate into the shop they were being assigned.
