In other countries, class has to do with who your parents are. In the United States, class has to do with how much money you make.

I agree. I think there is an attitude among some that, "hey, we are working people, we don't go to College." This is especially true among Latins toward their women.

But as Murray pointed out in "The Bell Curve," a bright kid gets picked up early in High School by our testing system, gets offers from top colleges, and can go to the top. Murray proves that we are stratifying by Intelligence, not birth. A "Class" system is a Hereditary device.
