Our class markers are a little different, but it works basically the same way. We may not use accents and clothing to designate poshness as often.

But we use stuff like hobbies and interests. Think about the nerd culture markers. We spent a really long time saying good programmers had to like certain video games, board games, books and movies.

Yes and no. Yes, those "culture markers" are there. But I don't like almost all of those markers, and nobody says I'm not a good programmer. They're surprised that I don't like them, but they're not judgmental.

But maybe I'm just fortunate in working with decent people...
