    the country has a strict class system

    Yanks pretending their country doesn’t have a class system on the internet has to be one of my favourite delusions.

      Nobody said the US doesn’t have a class system? Also the person you’re responding to appears to be a kiwi, not an American.

      Non-Americans making fools out of themselves while trying to casually denigrate the US is one of my favorite internet traditions. It’s especially entertaining because there are plenty of valid criticisms, but people often seem to go for the most lazy, inaccurate generalizations and reveal their ignorance.

      Our class system is based entirely on how much money you have. The UK still has a legal aristocracy based on how much land your direct ancestor owned 800 years ago.
