Oh come on, I know everyone in the US is judged by where they're going, not where they're from, but you do have the concept of working and middle classes right?

- bediger 16y agoNot so much. Almost everyone claims to be "middle class", the definition is so vague as to be meaningless. People who are obviously very, very well off claim middle class status. Only a very few would claim "working class" status, and typically, that's claimed for ideological reasons, not actual tradesman or craftsman membership.
- hugh3 16y ago... but you obviously understand the concept then, and that it may apply more readily to India?
- noblethrasher 16y agoI think he was wondering what the concept means to Indians since the referenced phrase is not at all idiomatic for U.S. English. Upon my initial reading, I wondered whether or not it referred to a caste.
- bediger 16y agoThank you! That clarifies what I meant, as I was indeed struck by the "social class" phrase as out of place or something.
