It is wrong because people are being underpaid for not participating in silly upper class rituals that are not relevant to productivity. Apart from the evident injustice of being poorer because your parents could afford polo lessons, it produces a system of perverse incentives, whereby wearing cufflinks is more important than knowing how to do your job.
There are a few industries in the UK were you’d be better off being a foreigner than a lower class local.
