Just as racism does. I don't believe in this tripe about it only being one way. That is mental gymnasium.

You honestly can't understand why it matters that one side has all of the money, power and leverage?

You honestly can't understand the life is more complicated than you want it to be?

You sound like an exceptionally deep thinker.

Sounds like someone backed you into a corner that you have to resort to soundbites rather than anything meaningful.

I do accept the argument that power dynamics has a role, but control of power is just one of many ways people relate to one another. Discrimination is still discrimination regardless of where it comes from. It is not a lesser evil if a non-white discriminates against a white person based on the color of the person's skin than it would be if a white person discriminates against the black person by the color of his or her skin. Either way, it is still racial discrimination.

Actually It's that I can see you are unreasonably intransigent and not open to differing ideas or opinions. And the fact that in your muddled thinking you've wandered from classism to racism is evidence enough that it would be a waste of time trying to edify you. I do think it is unfortunate that people like you still exist in 2019.

I'm not the one who brought up racism in this thread.

The irony is that you are the one who is so staunch in his/her views on what defines classicism. As you are quite inflexible in your views, you are only taking the childish (and ironical and hypocritical) route in trying to attack someone else for being intransigence for disagreeing with you. You resort to statements like "edifying you" as if you were in a morally superior position when in reality you are are not. Your views are not "correct". They are simply your views.

That is not an answer. The "lower" class may be prejudiced against the "upper" class, but how specifically, without money, power, and representation, manifest CLASSISM?

It's quite simple. They discriminate and / or judge an upper class person for not being of their own class. This happens quite often. More than you'd like to think.
