It is interesting how hard it is for Americans to recognize class differences.
When we see British drama it is easy for us to recognize a world where class and economic status do not always align. A world were you can be rich but of a lower class or where you can be upper class but poor.
However, in America we want to tie class strictly to economics. So we are confused by the idea that a poor white person can be of a higher class than a middle-class black person.
We are affected by class (which in our country is usually tied to race) but blind to its existence separate from wealth. |
