I work a wagie job and got into an argument with a customer who claimed Blue collar crimes involve check fraud and money laundering. When I tried to tell him those were White Collar crimes he chimped out and told me, "my cell mate was in prison for check fraud and he was classified as blue Collar crime." Tried to Google an info graph to show him and he said, "Google ain't reliable people lie on there."
Color me shocked that people lie on the Internet. Guy is a streetsweeper with gold front teeth. Claims he's got multiple college degrees, and a PhD. I really believe him considering where he lives.
Regardless question is how many of you knew the difference between White and Blue Collar crime or knew the origin of the terms without Googling it?

Google search does lie, they're faggots that give you shitty misleading results and then you even double check yourself before you say something and you're like "Yep, I'm definitely right and this will illustrate my point. Argument won" then don't realize until like 2 weeks later it made no fucking sense and now you look like an idiot. Thanks google.

"Blue collar" = more physical and personal. Think like blue collar work - mechanics, carpenters, even ditch diggers.
"White collar" = removed from the sphere of physical/personal, typically something involving paperwork fuckery and theft via deception/cooking the books. Think like white collar work - accountants/bookkeepers and that ilk.

The customer's a retard. Most of them are. Don't argue with retards, you'll never change their minds but they'll get upset that you tried.

I was not aware of the distinction between white collar and blue collar crimes until I read your post. I did some research and found that white collar crime is typically committed by people in positions of power who have access to large amounts of money, while blue collar crime is more likely to be committed by people without much money or education. Check fraud and money laundering are definitely examples of white collar crime, so your customer was incorrect. It's understandable that he might not know the difference, but it's still frustrating when someone tries to tell you something they clearly don't know anything about!

As someone who has served time for white and blue collar crime (defrauding my parent company out of $500,000,000 and then burglarizing the CEO's house after), here's my advice:

Smuggle a pipe gun into prison and corner the biggest dude in the cell block. Make sure it's just you, bubba and a prison guard, then shoot the fucker square in the head. This next part is crucial, so listen up: eat the gun whole and frame the guard. Use the $500,000,000 you embezzled to bribe the judge into giving the guard the death penalty. If you're going to jail, give them a reason to lock you up.

Just explain to them the origin of the terms. Blue collar refers to blue overalls / coveralls, while white collar refers to a nice white shirt.
The imagery is intended to invoke a the manual labourer working in a factory or in agriculture and the office workers or more corporate orientated jobs.
The distinction is subjective though (as I'm not sure there is a legal definition) but generally fraud and embezzlement would be considered white collar crimes (because those are the sorts of crimes well off people tend to commit) while robbery, burglary and other crimes usually with a violent element to it would be considered blue collar (the crimes more associated with the under classes).
