My family is from Bangladesh (we take our cultural cues from India) and I agree with you 100%. The society in Bangladesh is unimaginably classist. Sure, here in the U.S. lots of people have classist notions but people have the shame to not talk in public because it's not culturally acceptable. No such thing over there. As you said, the upper classes treat the lower classes as not even of the same people as themselves.

Yes. And unfortunately it is a bit of a problem even in the US. Recent immigrants (a few of them) continue the rat fight even when there is absolutely no need. It goes away of course, with the time, but in the first few years a lot of harm can be done.
