Class discrimination
There has been a lot about racism, Black, White, indian, etc. This thread is NOT about that, but the other type.
What other type is there some of you may be thinking about.
Well its cultural / class racism.
What I mean in some countries (india it think, but may be another) when you are born into a class, you stay in that class you cannot marry above or below that class, the poorest may only be able to afford basic clothing (Glorifed sack cloth), if they came into money that means that they could afford better, the 'class' means they still have to wear the same basic stuff. Equally a filthy rich man could see the most beiutul he has ever seen, but because she is in a lower class, he can't marry her.
In my personal case, my Mum, and her sister & brother were born in a small village, which had about 20 houses, her family were classed as outsiders, even though they'll lived there for over 7 years.
my mum told me that on one occasion they had a flower arranging competion for the 7 girls in the village. they tied for first place the five other girls, leaving out my mum and aunt.
another time they had a christmas party, for the whole village. they gave out fruit and small gifts for the kids, all except my mum, her sister & brother. only one bloke protested about them being left out.
has anybody here suffered from this type?
(NO comments about the usual racism please)
