Being of a higher class (even middle class versus working class) gives you innumerable advantages off the top - like better health care, better education, and subtler, harder-to-define privileges like the ability to know the "right" way to dress or act sometimes, or having a better "network" within your profession.
Class privilege is usually generationally cumulative: higher-class people have children who remain that class or do better, while lower-class people can rarely manage to close the gap and fall farther behind with each passing generation that the issue is not addressed.
Black families, for example, in America have been subjected to generations worth of racialized economic discrimination. The result? The total net worth of the average black family is one-eighth that of the average white family.

(Anonymous) 2011-05-07 05:56 am (UTC)(link)I think this has just been a lack of education on my part. I'm not from the USA, but thinking about the stuff you've mentioned, I can see that it does affect people here as well. Living where I do, it's just not been something I've been confronted with since I was young.
I'm always glad to learn something, though this is all rather depressing actually. Thanks again for the explanations.

(Anonymous) 2011-05-07 12:22 pm (UTC)(link)So a middle class family can have a lower income than a working class one, but still have longer life expectancy, greater access to the arts, more political power, a more socially useful network (Tabitha needs a job: who do her parents know?), and more positive portrayal in the media. Plus, a general confidence and expectation that things will go their way.
On a note about portrayals in the media, Doctor Who has actually been pretty good, all things considered, but Merlin has been shocking. Seriously, did you see the whole thing with the troll? Barely even disguised.

Interestingly in S6, we see her and Rory's flat without knowing their jobs, although presumably Rory's a nurse going by his comments in 6.02.
Soaps in the UK are also very interesting to explore from a class angle as they're probably the last bastion of celebrating lower income/working class life - and I love the movement towards portraying LGBT people from these backgrounds in them.
