Economic status discrimination 4

Often times it's the poorer people who are better people, and they are much more willing to do work than many of the rich people who just sit with all that money and aren't proactive. They just buy themselves stuff and don't donate a portion to charity or give t to somebody who really needs it.

This list nauseates me to no end. If you don't like the situation you're in...do something about it. Don't be a victim.

Absolutely, and yet we have lists here like “Things that Advertise an Individual's Status as Lower or Working Class” as if there was something wrong with being working class. My grandfather worked in the fields picking cotton in southern California after the dust bowl devastated Oklahoma in the 30s. He was as working class as a person could be. He was a far better human than any “educated” idiot whom believes that because he drives a BMW, lives in a bigger home or the fact that they may be a collage graduate somehow makes them a better person.

Rich or poor, or in between, it doesn't matter. I think that too much rests on the amount of money people have. It's always a contest who can get the most. He who dies with the most toys wins. It all revolves around money. There's those snooty private schools (no offense to anyone who attends one), that you can only go there if you have an income of 500 000 to 1 000 000 dollars. Any less and you're a pauper. I'm no millionaire, but I'm perfectly happy with the amount of money I have.

This is a popular one. Some of the big companies like Goldman Sachs will only take on graduates from a more affluent University such as Cambridge or Oxford or even an internationally well recognised one like Harvard. Even certain private schools will only accept students from grammar schools.

Possibly the most pervasive and accepted form of discrimination. Our culture celebrates wealth, no matter how acquired, and denigrates poverty. Who do you think built the railroads and factories that made our society wealthy?

Any discrimination is bad, I would like to give 5 stars to each and every mentioned in the list. What can I say, we all should try harder to love people instead of hating them

Strangely enough, racism is addressed far more than classism, although many times they are inseparable. Many minorities are below the poverty line, and that isn't a coincidence. Martin Luther King, Jr. was about to have a march on Washington against classism (which he addressed regularly in his speaches, but no one knows about) when he was killed. In order to fight racism, you must fight classism.

Hire us poor people. We do better work, anyway.
