On the subject of social upward mobility?

haha, this is funny, just as I try to tell myself I will no longer do this, I update ALL of my online sites. . . haha.
You know, I tried to cry - but the tears just didn't come. Must mean that I'm really a cold hearted bitch after all.
After this trip - nothing has become more apparent.
I am a classist, racist, elitist snobby bitch.
And there's nothing I can do about that. Except live with the fact that there is just so much imperfection in the world - I just can't 'settle' for anything, body, place etc.
It bothers me. When people don't have manners or don't know which fork to use at the formal dinner table.
WHAT THE HELL!?!? You've never been to a banquet dinner before?
Right. I know, this is super selfish and shallow of me, but hey! *shrugs* I can't help it.
But I DO know, I'm extremely lucky, for if it wasn't for my mother (and partly for my dad's money) I wouldn't know salad fork from appertif.
But then again, I DO.
Uggh. Slovenlyness bothers me. I think I can only pretend for so long that I'm all for equality and justice and all that PC loving bullshit, but deep down inside, social upward mobility is only for the desperate and for the people at the bottom of the food chain.
I know - like I said - I'm feeling shame as I write this, but I don't know how else to cope with it.
I tried to put myself in their shoes.
I don't know how to do that. It's not really interjecting into my head.
There's one thing about coming from the slums and trying to better yourself -I approve of that, but it's another if you're from the slums and you try to act any other way.
I do NOT approve of that. Asking what to do in a particular social situation avoids akwardness and more people should open their mouths.
Don't so something stupid and assume that people won't notice. Just ask! It's easier that way.
Thank you for listening to this entirely pointless rant.
