Old money vs new money, Harvard vs others, Boston Irish vs Others. The cultural divides are subtle. They are like glass ceiling. You will realize how big a deal it is when you enter to their priorities. For getting most of the jobs, no one could care less. Try housing - You will not get housing in certain areas unless you project a certain class.

This was true at one time, but that time was the better part of a century and a half ago. The last vestiges of that were removed when Kennedy became president. If you show up to buy a house on Louisburg Square on Beacon Hill, or a mansion on Tory Row in Cambridge, and you're willing to pay ${millions} cash on the nail, nobody is going to check your ancestry or your place in the social register before selling to you.
