- monocasa 5y agoNot really. A lot of my high school friends in that boat are upper class. One is the new district attorney of my hometown for instance. Another is a regulelar contributer to fox news. The stereotype is orthogonal to class.
- fullshark 5y ago“Thinks Olive Garden is fancy” is clearly a pejorative class signal
- monocasa 5y agoIn my experience it says more about if you've left your little town for a relatively significant period of time than class. I know train kids with more exposure to the world than that, and as I said above district attorneys and national news contributors who have no interest in anything outside the commercial zone of their suburb.
- shrimp_emoji 5y ago> train kids Is this a slur for my kind?
- monocasa 5y agoIt's a term for teenagers and young adults that left the small town they were from by literally jumping on to a moving cargo train.
- catach 5y agoI suspect what may be tripping people up in this kind of discussion is that financial class and social class can be distinct from each other.
- markvdb 5y agoSpot on observation. Classical guitar teacher here. I'd never have been able to buy the house I'm writing this from on my salary if not for also prostituting myself in the it sector :-)
- monocasa 5y agoI've found that social class in non urban environments is orthogonal to taste. District attorneys don't necessarily get paid well, but they are pretty high up in local social class.
