AIBU to not understand British class angst?

[WidowWadman]

I've been living here for 8 years, and still don't get it. Why are people so bothered by class?

I mean domestic life

Every place I have ever lived in - USA, Australia, France and UK - had cleat groups of people looking up or down at other people, judging each other on their clothes, educational attainments, what their grandparents did etc, etc, etc. I really don't understand why you single out this country. Sadly it seems to be a universal human need to organise societies in this way.
