What percentage of working class people in the UK does that apply to, though.
The idea that class is perpetuated purely by economic exclusion and divided along lines of income seems like a fairly dramatic oversimplification these days...
Yeah sure, its an extreme example to illustrate a point. There are thousands of different ways that social, economic and cultural factors influence 'success' as well as pure luck and chance of course.
Intelligence (whatever that is) is just one factor. The idea that higher social/economic status is a prime indicator of genetic superiority is something that has been trotted out for millenia, and is, in my eyes, unprovable and dangerous bollocks.
