[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren't upper classes perceived in movies ALWAYS as being white?

There is actually less upper class in America than there is in South America, Europe, or Asia so maybe for a realistic comparison look at those continents because the upper class in the US is very very little.

Upper classes don't like public embarassment and will avoid as much as possible.

Many of these are true of old money in the U.S., but I have to disagree about the bolded.  Old money with true class is always on a first-name basis with people such as their regular butcher, vet, doctor, housekeeper, gardener, etc.  They teach their kids to treat everyone with the utmost respect and grace and treat those who work for them as if they are friends - which they are.[/quote]
