That’s kind of case-in-point - it’s high status in low class circles.

- bumby 5y agoIs this confusing wealth and class? Your statement, worded differently, seems to read "it's high class in low class circles". Are you implying class is only appropriately defined only by those in high-class? I guess I was looking at it as social prestige regardless of who in the social strata assigns it. In other words, if enough 'low-class' people think you're high-class, you're by definition high-class.
- rkk3 5y agoClass is defined by the members of each group. Non-members are by definition mostly ignorant of the groups' culture that they are not a part of. So they can recognize people are different from them, but not which group they belong to. "low-class" people would not determine who is "high-class" any more than the "high-class" people determine who is "low-class".
