It's not really surprising. People are conditioned by the social environment you grow up in. Say what you want, but there's a massive difference between growing up in a poor and rich family. You're exposed to very different influences and values. This has been scientifically observed, and I'm not talking about this article, which IMO takes things in a very weird way.

So while I think the conclusion here is waaaaaaaay farfetched and unscientific, it still rings true that fundamentally, where you grow up socioeconomically shapes you in very profound ways. In some ways, there is indeed a bigger cultural distance between wealthier people within the same country, than between people from similar social circumstances in different countries
