[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you framing this as a UMC thing? I would be upset if my kids were not into any activities besides video games. But do I care if it is not "UMC?" Who freaking cares?[/quote]

I think the point is that, across multiple threads on this forum, people are exploring what it means to be MC and UMC and how people arrive at or maintain that status.

Look at the thread on raising kids in UMC DMV communities. Tons of posts ended up being about the wearing of Lululemon.  There is a lot of discourse on this site about explicit class markers.

One of the characteristics that supposedly sets the rich apart from MC and UMC is that they do not spend a lot of time contemplating these issues.[/quote]

People who consider mall clothes and skiing as things only for umc really should get out more.  [/quote]

PP. I think you kind of made my point. Really rich people aren't discussing this stuff.  It's people probably between 150K HHI and 500K HHI who can't accurately assess their percentile rank in terms of overall US HHI and who disagree on whether Lululemon leggings are a rip-off also worrying about whether their kids need to know how to do these sports to stay at the top of the US income distribution.[/quote]
