[quote=Anonymous]I don't think that there's anything wrong with acknowledging class differences.  It beats the hell out of the false narrative that anyone can become elite if they just work hard enough.  Of course the ruling class doesn't want to admit the peasants - duh.  It's part of what all the elite college BS in the Colleges and Universities forum is all about.  Es and upper Gs want to stay on top and are fine excluding those who don't know their unwritten rules.

I am in a weird place where my mom "married down" and was raised by high-G/low-E grandparents and probably L2/G4 parents.  By the Daily Kos definitions, I'm a G2, and I think it's only because of the time I spent with my more upper-class family that I know enough of the rules to fit in.  It has, however, taken a lot of keeping my mouth shut when the Gs start disparaging people like my family, and I only deal with it at work/professional networking, not socially.  The L parts of my family and my husband's are not the types to put up with that sort of bullshit, so passing from L to G is a lot more difficult for them.[/quote]
