2. First Class and Steerage, but in a building

Like on the Titanic--steerage passengers were kept out of sight from the higher class passengers. They were not allowed on the upper decks, beautiful dining rooms, exercise rooms or lounges, and were barred from the grand entrance staircase. They went in the ship in a lower entrance.
We have gone well past separating people by ethnicity and skin color and are heading back to full Charles Dickens mode class distinctions.
