I just had a fully hour-long conversation with my household about this. Apparently the only other person who didn’t know about it was the preschooler. The others helped me explore how status regulation is probably a huge contributor to the persistence of racism, classism, and that thing where communities tend to strongly distrust “blowins”.
OMG, this explains SO MUCH of my childhood!!

Mind blown; thanks for that!
