Humans have a tendency to slice and dice our identities ever finer. Even with something as mundane as dress codes in private schools, kids find a way to distinguish in-group versus out-group, via something as irrelevant as shoelaces.

I grew up of modest means too, and I remember a lot of the microscopic ways in which that was obvious, even without being ratted out. Luckily we both survived!

Nursing used to be similar; the тАЬbattle axeтАЭ nurse was a familiar type. And they also were known to take out their resentment on new nurses too.
