Classism Alive and Well[edit]

Ah yes, it seems there is controversy regarding a princess marrying a 'commoner'. Which is evidence that Classism is alive and well in Sweden. How very uncivilized for this age. I thought we got rid of this sort of thinking when we crawled through the civil rights era. Well, at least in America we did, it seems. ArchabacteriaNematoda (talk) 17:30, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Hah! You got rid of nobility and aristocratic classism, yes, but classism between the rich and the poor? Don't tell me a lot of big-time lawyers or entrepreneurs and their well-off families wouldn't mind sitting down at a restaurant table together with strangers struggling to put food on their table. There are arrogant jerks, and nice people, everywhere.

Too right. Still, I think the princess can marry whoever she bloody well wants. ArchabacteriaNematoda (talk) 22:02, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
