Nope. About as upper class WASP as you can get with a name like Cornelius Crane Chase.

Cornelius Crane Chase was born in the Lower Manhattan area of New York City on October 8, 1943.[5] He grew up in Woodstock, New York.[6] His father, Edward Tinsley "Ned" Chase (1919–2005),[7] was a Princeton-educated Manhattan book editor and magazine writer.[8] His mother, Cathalene Parker (née Browning; 1923–2005), was a concert pianist and librettist whose father, Rear Admiral Miles Browning, served as Admiral Raymond A. Spruance's Chief of Staff on the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CV-6) at the Battle of Midway in World War II. Cathalene was adopted as a child by her stepfather, Cornelius Vanderbilt Crane, heir to The Crane Company, and took the name Catherine Crane.[9] Chase's paternal grandfather was artist and illustrator Edward Leigh Chase, and his great-uncle was painter and teacher Frank Swift Chase. His maternal grandmother, Cathalene, was an opera singer who performed several times at Carnegie Hall.
