I've worked with Brits all over the planet. Not all, not even most, but plenty absolutely believe in a class system. In Borneo, several wives tracked me down on the beach and asked me if I had a degree. Yeah, at that time I had just the BSEE. They were stunned - why would anyone with a degree do that job. These British wives were all lower class white people, and really wanted to move up the class ladder. They actually set up a pecking order, that's why they went after my wife, since I have a degree my wife should speak first - hard to imagine. All the men ignored it, we were just coworkers, but it really mattered to the wives.
Every Brit I've worked with knew the system, so when I do jobs in the former British Empire I always try to go with a Brit so he can point out who needs stroking.
Centuries of indoctrination will ingrain stupid stuff. Look at Americans - most Americans ignore the ridiculous monarchy, but tens of millions LOVE it.
Now look at NaziRepublican Party worshippers. They truly buy the lie that rich people are smarter, better, more WORTHY than us.
