[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a WASP and I tend to think of it as something that the lower classes do.  Pretty sure others in my circle feel the same way, as I only know one family who pierced their baby's ears.  (both parents are doctors, so it surprised us a lot!)

I actually didn't know that some cultures do it routinely until DCUM informed me.  I would never say anything in public, but I admit, I do still think of it as a lower-class thing to do.[/quote]

This board can be really difficult.  I come to it for advice and discussion, then I am reminded of the elitism.  Money does not buy class, academia does not automatically secure class "(both parents are doctors, so it surprised us a lot!)".

When someone says "something that the lower classes do", how does one know what the lower classes do? Have you spent time with "low class" people? Read about them? Taught them? Observed them like at a zoo?  And at what point do these classes transition from one to the next. I am really curious about this.  Maybe I'm too young to know about this WASPy thing, (I did google it), but am I to understand that if WASP don't approve, it's low class, trashy and trailer trash? I just don't see what is trashy about baby ear piercing.  How does one even form these thoughts about something as common and innocent as ear piercing? [u]Do you really look at the beautiful baby and say to yourself "OMG, babies ear's are pierced, so low class!" [/u]Maybe someone really high class (with high class credentials) will respond.  I am not being snarky.[/quote]

Yes, although I would certainly never say that.[/quote]
