Money, education, Mayflower ancestor, eligible to join the Daughters of the American Revolution, distant relative of some famous or wealthy family, member of some social clubs (even inexpensive ones), and so on.

Edit: but as many other folks are mentioning, this is class and not caste. You'll notice that around half of the things I've mentioned are something you're born with.

Honest question, in what situations have you been in where you were aware that someone had a Mayflower ancestor or was eligible for the Daughters of the Revolution?

That has literally never happened to me.

I don't give a crap about class, so I'm probably not the person to ask. I do have family members who care about it.
