[PostOnce]

It's not that we don't consider ourselves superior to others, it's that we don't speak publicly about having social inferiors, because that is the mark of an inferior person. I have heard trailer-dwellers speaking loudly about "low-class people" (relative to themselves, in their opinion, heh), and how they are better than group x or y, but rarely in the company of higher-caliber people do I ever hear such talk. This is because superior people simply have bigger, better, and more important things to discuss. It's also a matter of class. It's very low-brow to speak of others as being beneath you.

Generally, when I hear people speak of others as beneath them, I pity them for their lack of higher thoughts. I imagine a Klan member on television, talking about how others are beneath him, because his worth is not generated through action or societal contribution, his supposed worth is innate, he is better than group N because he was not born a member of group N; he will never contribute anything to society that improves the social rank he imagines himself to have been born with.

tl;dr: Everyone thinks unbecoming thoughts; only the low-class voice them.
