Re: Classism in fandom

[mechanosapience]

Americans tend to root for underdogs, especially given the tendency to break things down into "poor, deserving, people who pulled themselves up by their bootstraps" and "rich, noble/old money snot who was born with a silver spoon in their mouth." When things get more complicated (rich person is also better educated), the dichotomy breaks down.

Another thing to keep in mind is that in America, class and race are very mixed together, so one can be easily mistaken for the other. A lot of the social indicators of poverty are also associated with black culture, and vice versa. There's a palpable undercurrent of racism in the conservative movement's attitude toward poor people (particularly the far-right, Tea Party types).

Do you mean black person is viewed as poor a priori? Even if dressed well? I've been to Canada where all immigrants, white, asian or black are viewed about the same.
