caste-ism

Judging people by the level of education their job requires; in contrast to judging people by the level of inherited wealth in their family.
Caste-ism exists in contrast to classism; which judges people solely based on their mode-of production.

Classism has its ontology in the patriarch whereas caste-ism originates from matrifocal and/or matrilineal cultures.
