Re: Classism in fandom

I think race (and immigrants) definitely are factored in to the image of "poverty", but I think it's also about things that aren't necessarily visible at first glance. Of course, someone who doesn't look clean and is dressed in ragged clothes might suggest "poverty" to anyone. But things like, "low class" jobs (entry level, blue collar, etc), low education, etc. So much that if you (hypothetical you) meet someone without a college degree, you might assume low class.

In the UK, or my experience living there, there seems to be more of an established culture between classes, visible straight from the accent.

As far as FANDOM things, I think in the US, "noble poverty" is a really romantic theme, maybe moreso than the UK? Just my impression. In American media, poor people are often still cast as beautiful, fit, well-dressed models, who you wouldn't guess were poor unless they said so. Except, of course, if they are a non-white character.

I was thinking a good example of this is The Big Bang Theory. Penny is supposedly broke all the time, working as a full time waitress (which, in premise, is not unbelievable). But she had a pretty big one bedroom apartment right next to men with prestigious jobs who I assume would have pretty good salaries.
