every culture doesn't...the hell. you go to asian countries, they want to be like the rich asians (and thus rich europeans). white people in america? they are not emulating white trash culture, they look up to rich white celebs, old and new money business owners, models, playboys, etc only white trash looks to successful white trash. indian people look up to the upper end of their caste system. my time in brazil, it's still the rich/powerful/southern brazilians that dictate what's cool.
it's not a lot of cultures where people aspire to do what the lowest socieconomic tier are doing
