What is Classism?

Classism is prejudice or discrimination on the basis of social class. It can be seen in various aspects of society, from political ideologies, to how people treat someone in a clothing store. Classism is generally dealt by those in the middle and upper classes to those in the working and poor classes. Those in the middle and upper classes believe that they are superior to those in the working and poor classes because of their socio-economic status. Admittedly, classism is more subtle than it used to be, but it can still be seen in various aspects of life.
