AIBU to ask why *some* people are so obsessed with judging people by their class

[ConfusedWife1234]

Since I joined mumsnet I noticed that are a lot of threads about social class on the AIBU board. Do not get me wrong. I do think social class is a fascinating topic to talk about. I really love to learn about other people’s social class and how they live in that social class BUT I notice some people are a bit judgemental about social class in a way, like always wishing to find out which social class is the best... and I do not understand this. Don‘t we need all social classes in a society?

I might be very wrong though and maybe this is just how I read it but not what you meant to say.

but we don’t need people who think they have the right to look down on others due to the incidental fact of the family they were born into

I know that people can't help their upbringing but I must say, when I worked in (branch of government that attracts a lot of poshos) I did find it hard to have respect for people who I knew would have been hothoused through their A levels, never had to work during their degree, had family connections to the civil service so would know upfront how to dress/what to expect, etc. I kept wondering what they would be doing if they'd grown up in my estate. The whole department was anyway run by people who'd come in from the local area on the school leaver entry program.
