Yes, because that's where they're from, then yes. Ancestry has nothing to do with it. See also My Country Tis of Thee That I Sting.

So, to address Social Class Cringe, it would be best to add another section to the Cultural Cringe page? I might do it but I'm afraid that would make the page too unwieldy.

Just add your example first, I don't think it needs another section for that. It's better to just add your example now, even if you do decide to add another section later.

I first submitted this query in Ask The Troper and they suggested I try it here.
Does the Cultural Cringe trope also apply to the class to which a character was born and raised? I'm not sure whether to edit the existing Cultural Cringe page to add a section and some examples about people being ashamed of their social class or start a completely new page on the topic. This wouldn't just include people ashamed about their low-class background. It could also cover characters who were raised in aristocratic, affluent, or middle-class homes who come to regret where they came from and try to separate themselves from it.
