Video/Social Class Reaction

After watching this video I realized that bread can actually determine social class. I've never thought about it before so it's weird thinking about it now. My mom buys wonder bread and my dad buys all the whole grain/different types of bread and I thought this was funny because my moms strict about money but my dads a shopaholic.

I now have a different view about the upper class. The stereotype of the social class is stuck up and arrogant, but I never thought they were ACTUALLY like that until I heard the "WASP" talk about himself so highly. He thought that the people he associated with were all beautiful and clean and sweet while the poor are unintelligent and not fit for his group. It was so annoying to hear him talk about himself and look down upon others.

Also, I think it's annoying that black upper class and black middle class is different from white upper class and white middle class. The upper class blacks are just as uppity as the white middle class, they should not be isolated because they are "not like other blacks".
