Discrimination or prejudice against people based on their economic or social class.
From 'class' (social division) plus '-ism' (system of belief), coined in the 1960s-1970s during social justice movements to describe bias similar to racism or sexism.
Just as racism judges people by race and sexism by gender, classism judges people by how much money they have or their job—and it can affect everything from school to job opportunities.
