Ole Miss and Miss State. And HOW.

Added DiffLines:

* Possibly even stronger than Princeton–Rutgers is the rivalry between the University of Mississippi, known to one and all as Ole Miss, and Mississippi State University, usually known within the state as just "State". The sports website SB Nation, in [[https://www.sbnation.com/a/ole-miss-leo-lewis-ncaa-enforcement-recruitment-violations a story]] about an NCAA investigation that touched both schools' football programs, had this to say about the rivalry:
-->If you've never been to the state, it's fair to say that the rivalry can be summed up by the usual tropes of the ag school (Mississippi State in Starkville) vs. the gilded liberal arts hub (Ole Miss in Oxford). Except these differences are played out in Mississippi's extremes: At Ole Miss, you have the vanity and Antebellum fringe of magnolias and white columns. Starkville is more working class, hard, the Mississippi State campus surrounded by fiercely agrarian landscapes that create the kind of high lonesome feeling usually found in the American West. In less literary terms: If you're an Ole Miss fan, you're probably an asshole lawyer in seersucker. If you're a Mississippi State fan, you're probably an asshole redneck in camouflage.

* ''Film/TheMenu'' is set in an exclusive restaurant where the chef is having a meltdown. The class difference between the staff and the customers comes up a couple of times:
** One of the first signs that things are going wrong is when Chef Slowik gives a speech about the history of bread, and finishes by saying "Bread is the food of the working man. You aren't getting any bread."
** Slowik realises that Margot works in a service industry, and urges her to join his side -- to be a "giver," and not a "taker."

** There's the rivalry between the goofy, free-spirited [[Characters/GravityFallsMabelPines Mabel Pines]] (Slob) and the snooty AlphaBitch Pacifica Northwest (Snob). Oddly enough, after the events of "The Golf War" and "Northwest Mansion Mystery" the two started [[OddFriendship becoming friends]].

* The episode "The Masquerade" of ''[[LetsPlay/DreamSMP Tales From the SMP]]'' features a CastFullOfRichPeople who share disdain towards the poor... [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and]] an nudist LowerClassLout named Drew P. Wiener. Naturally, this causes a lot of tension among the attendees of the masquerade party, with some people refusing to even ''touch'' Drew while playing Duck Duck Goose, [[spoiler:and when Drew is the first person to get [[TenLittleMurderVictims murdered]], most of the cast considered him too poor to matter]].

* This is part of the amusing culture clash between our hunter heroes and the Men of Letters on ''{{Series/Supernatural}}''. Our protagonists are the brutish, flannel-wearing, blue-collar-coded American hunters. The Men of Letters we meet in the present day are British with [[NationalStereotypes everything that goes along with those stereotypes]] and even the older American Men of Letters (before they all died) were shown to be men of culture and learning who disapproved of the sloppy hunters of their day. Dean and Sam get to live in their nice bunker because they're technically legacies.

** The family rivalry between the impoverished Weasleys and the high-society Malfoys. The Malfoys look down on the Weasleys for being poor and associating themselves with Muggles. The Weasleys, on the other hand, disdain the Malfoys for their intollerance towards Muggles and their possible ties to the Dark Lord Voldemort.

* In ''[[TheShipWho The City Who Fought]]'', [[SpaceStation Simeon]] is decidedly more of a slob, and his new [[HandyHelper brawn]] Channa is more of a snob. They get on the wrong foot before even meeting because Simeon's upset about his old brawn retiring and tries to smear all the potential replacements and destroy their reputations, dashing Channa's hopes for an assignment that she'd really wanted. When they actually meet, Simeon hits on her, which she doesn't appreciate. She then starts a thorough inspection of the entire station, citing safety as she repeatedly finds shortcomings in the ways he and the other personnel have run things. Channa refuses to allow Simeon to manipulate her, humiliate and undercut her, or to ignore her professional opinions. Simeon starts out thinking of her as a bitch, and she thinks of him as a ManChild. Gradually he learns to respect her and she [[DefrostingIceQueen mellows]], helped along when they find a CommonalityConnection in their shared appreciation for classical and opera music, and find a balance that's affectionate even if they sometimes bicker. They need both Channa's rigor and thoroughness and Simeon's fluidity and comfort with chaos to deal with the rest of the plot of the book.
