No no, new money hates pasta salad because it might give them away as former LMC. Old money doesn’t care if someone eats pasta salad.[/quote]

pasta salad is delicious, and none of this makes sense to me. [/quote]

It makes sense to me. People who spend a lot of time worrying about things that might make them look downscale tend to be of lower SES status (in a relative sense).  People who spend time thinking about whether an item or behavior makes them look the right or wrong class generally don't actually belong to the class they are aspiring to look like. People who are secure in their class just choose what they like and don't give it a second thought.

Most people in the US are new money. I'll give what I see to be a common separation of UMC vs rich. UMC people wear what they think looks like "luxury travel" while traveling, whereas rich people tend to dress a bit down for travel. This is true of both airport attire and then actual tourism outfits. [/quote]
