[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s just dcum, or even just Americans. I had a British friend tell me he loved living in America because in England everything is so defined by class, and people know immediately what your class is because there are so many tells. It’s so much more fluid in America and doesn’t matter to many people. But I think most human societies have some obsession with class, on some level. I had a Jewish friend from NY that used to refer to the German Jews as “the fancy Jews”—as opposed to those of Eastern European heritage. And look at the class divides highlighted in something like crazy rich Asians. Humans love to categorize things and class is one way we do it. It makes our world feel more organized and less overwhelming, I think. At least it’s a less pernicious form of categorization than race, although I think there’s often a lot of overlap and implicit or explicit racism in the class commentary.
