Elite, Elitism, Elitist - Class Distinction Perceived or Real?

from EXPLORACAST · host Kincaid, Bailey, Gray and Foxx

Michael Jordan is an elite basketball player. Meryl Streep, an elite actor. Luciano Pavoratti is in a class alone among the elite of his art. But there are also other supposed elites among us whether they themselves say so or are considered so byothers. Is it money, education, skill, class, heritage, tastes, possessions, or associations that form the elites? Who decides who is and who's not an elite? The Exploracast team takes on this very nuanced and highly relevant topic.
