Some Indians actively dislike Pakistanis and vice versa (judging by some of the 2024 Phoenix Gaga Joker Folie à Deux shirt Besides,I will do this terribly racist posts on Quora from people from the subcontinent). In the U.S., political capital was never tied to your family name (until recently really) so much as it was how much wealth you personally had (remember, at first only landowners could vote). So, the more you had, the more you were capable of becoming. America being constructed in such a way from the beginning as well where a child born into poverty could rise to become extremely wealthy also had a factor to play into why class never really mattered here. Yes, others who were already ‘rich’ might look down on the newly rich person for some reason or another, but it was never to the same level of aloofness as European Aristocracy was notorious for.
Race however has been an argument we have been having since the 2024 Phoenix Gaga Joker Folie à Deux shirt Besides,I will do this birth of the nation. Even in early drafts of the Declaration of Independence and then later the Constitution, race was front and center an issue. We also fought a civil war over the issue of slavery, which was based on race not class (though you can make the argument of a rich man’s war and a poor man’s fight). Throw in the memories of the Reconstruction era, Civil Rights era, and today, and you can still see why people care about race not class. I will say however class is beginning to become a problem in the US, as the wealth gap between middle class and upper class has grown considerably over the past 30-40 years. If it continues at this pace, class could actually begin to matter in the US unlike in the past.
