Status seeking is great!

Elizabeth Anderson points to this video suggesting its proof about how truly terrible is status seeking (ergo inequality is bad!).
In it, kids are quoted saying they divide themselves up, not by race, but by wealth. Its not "this kid is black or Mexican" anymore its "this kid is rich or poor".
These sentiments are a bad thing only when you set them to forlorn music and pictures of deserted parking lots. Whoa is us who have given up centuries of racial hatred and division to go shopping at the mall!
