I'm not saying anything at all about the ways American or British seek to be upwardly mobile; I don't have the experiences to generalize and I'm in way over my head, but feel free to soak in as my knowledge as you can from the comments, as I am doing.
I do mention in my post heyiya's argument that British conceptions of class are less fluid than American ones, which I think led into someone making a comment similar to what you state above.
But mainly I was just trying to look at how fandom treats its working-class white characters. With rather spectacular unconclusive results. (If only there were more middle-class CoC's with which to compare them!)
