It’s an old joke, but it bears repeating: An Oxford professor meets a former student on the street. He asks what he’s been up to lately. The student tells him he’s working on a doctoral thesis about the survival of the class system in the United States. The professor expresses surprise. “I didn’t think there was a class system in the United States,” he says. “Nobody does,” the student replies. “That’s how it survives.”
I like this.Oprah did a show on it once, showing that there was, but basically was trying to stop individual judgement. Now here in the US when they talk about it on the media, they make it sound like a bad thing. Is that to stigmatize it like when they say socialism derogatorily or the communist witch hunts of the 50's? thanks
