核心要点
The Myth We Can't Shake: Class in the Land of Equality
What do Bob Ewell from *To Kill a Mockingbird* and the stars of *Duck Dynasty* have in common? Both represent America's most enduring contradiction-a nation built on equality that has always maintained a rigid class system. When Harper Lee's classic hit theaters in 1962, audiences embraced its message of racial justice while overlooking another disturbing portrayal: the Ewells as irredeemable "white trash" living behind the town dump. Fast forward to 2012, and 11.8 million Americans tuned in to watch *Duck Dynasty*, our modern fascination with the same stereotypes packaged as entertainment. This isn't coincidence-it's evidence of a class consciousness we've never acknowledged. From colonial Virginia to reality television, America has always had a bottom rung, and we've always needed someone to occupy it.
