Identifying how different language is used to describe the same situations for various economic classes - so rich people get to go to ~recuperative spas~ while poor people are thrown into rehab for their addiction - is literally the opposite of classist.
Sure, I'll give you that. But consider the tone of the conversation and the implication that the popstar in question had a meltdown and it was, therefore, probably addiction-related as opposed to stress induced by being overworked or whatever. That implication is classist.
Nonsense. If Alison Blaire were poor and we concluded that her "exhausation" was drug-related instead of related to stress, then it'd be classist. But the bitch is rich as hell. She can't be the target of classism.
Yeah, life must be really hard when all the odds are stacked in your favor. I bet you also believe that you can be racist against white people and that feminism is bringing down men.
And here I was thinking that I'd been invited to a school. What kind of learning goes on here?
Not that I don't love all this philosophy all up in my blog, 'cause I do, really, but did you guys forget the importance of teenaged meltdowns? Kids gotta cut loose!
