classism
含义: Prejudice or discrimination against people based on their social class, typically involving the belief that people from higher social classes are inherently superior to those from lower classes.
Classism is particularly relevant in Britain, where the class system has deep historical roots and continues to shape life chances. It manifests in attitudes towards accents, education, occupation, and cultural tastes. Unlike racism or sexism, classism is often considered more socially acceptable and is sometimes disguised as meritocratic judgement. The terms 'classist' (adjective) and 'classist' (noun) describe those who exhibit class-based prejudice.
