For those of the lower middle class near the bottom, who cannot distinguish themselves in any other way but race, they may use their race as superiority when that characteristic conforms to elite ideal. While the position of the lower middle class is innate to the system of Progressive Materialism, and where often the reasons for the individual's position in this class has more to do with oppression and exploitation from the top, they may have a propensity to blame those below them for their own lowly position, because their respect and aspirations are for and to achieve higher status, and they cannot blame what they themselves desire to be. And thus a further use of the Untouchable Class is scapegoat for oppression from the top and the inequities inherent in the system.

Racism is also an inherent aspect of Right Wing, Pseudo-conservatism, and to a lesser extent the Liberalism as well. Psuedo-conservatives and the middle to upper classes tend define themselves more by comparison, as equal or to some degree less that the top, using the top as a base. They use and identity with the higher progressive ideals. This strong identification means that they respect, emulate, promote, sustain and defend the values of the top. If these people exploit those below them, they will often find it necessary to justify it by discriminative attitudes. Because they may live in a world that is at a distance from the lower classes they may be incapable of identification and compassion. Their whole identity is defined in opposition and contrast to those below and thus their attitude cannot be very sympathetic, except by charity at a distance.

Liberals and the lower classes in general tend to assess their own consequence and status from the bottom as a base, or as degrees more than and greater, to which they are closer and have a greater understanding. Still, because of the hierarchal and progressive nature of the system, the general perspective is to disdain what is lower and respect what is higher. Thus while there will be a higher degree of compassion for low circumstance, the expectation is to move up, out and away to higher goals and in the process an estrangement of what was. Thus the Liberals will tend to abandon their liberalism with the coming of their kids.
