"Classism" is a problem afflicting approximately 5 academics who hustled from the working class to a gig in a pretentious department.
For everyone else, the tyranny of class hierarchy is material deprivation not a matter of manners.

Fucking nailed it. What academia writes and cares about and what’s happening in the rest of the world are often drastically far apart. Usually is, in fact. Classism means that 99.9% of people never get the opportunities they are capable of to even go into academia to write about how someone looked down on them for not knowing to use the salad fork.
