I think class is primarily dictated by three things on a superficial level, e.g ten minutes or less of a first interaction with someone:
- How you speak
- How you dress
- How physically attractive you are, specifically in regards to things like height, fitness, and angular features.
Skin color takes a backseat to these factors in the modern era

- TameAntelope 5y agoYes, with the addendum of, "If any of these things place you into a minority community, you immediately lose." What is "good speech"? What is "good dress"? What is "attractive"? To much of society, those answers are, "Whatever sounds/looks like the popular culture I consume." and that's a problem.
