Or, if you like, if there is still a class system, what are the classes? Would you consider the current ABC1C2DE system a class system?? Also in those societies they have a colour cast system as well the darker you are the more you are treated differently. In America it is called the brown paper bag test which I found it abhorrent. The class system in Britain will never go away it will always be here the only difference is that you can move from one class to another by hard work and success it could go either way to.
