[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know many, many moms who come from UMC who aren't trim, put together,  don't drive nice cars, etc. I find women who come from poorer backgrounds but have made it to the UMC are more apt to cling to outward virtue signaling.

As for kids, I have known some lower middle class kids who are well spoken, confident,  insightful vs some UMC children who are bratty, entitled, etc.

The question isn't about UMC, it is in regards to UC.  To which no, there are not many UC obese women in their 20s-40s.  [/quote]

Your language just told us that your not.  Thanks for playing.[/quote]

NP but do you really think that just because someone is so-called "upper class", that they all look and speak the same way and they all buy the same things? I don't understand the people on this board who are obsessed with being "upper class" or wealthy. There is seriously something wrong with you. Be happy with what you have and stop putting people that are wealthier than you or you feel have some kind of status up on a pedestal. This is like the whole false idolatry thing. Stop worshiping something you know nothing about, ladies. It's pretty pathetic, to be honest.[/quote]

The question is about culture, so yes generalizations can be made.  Yes there will be exceptions.

To put into context - Generally speaking Americans speak a version of English, shop at similar sorts of stores. e.g., somewhere that sells Tide or Nike, and are distinguishable from most other nations.  Generally speaking, Germans speak German, shop at similar stores, e.g., somewhere that sells Persil or Adidas, and are distinguishable from most other nations.  We can do this forever, and subcultures within those cultures exist, including class cultures.  Just because you don't like it doesn't make it less true.  [/quote]

Ooooh so only white people whose families have been here for generations can be American. I see. [/quote]
