wow, another thought provoking post!!!
here is what i might say, my husband and i both came from disadvantaged families, one poorer than the other. One city , one country. But we had our experiences in common, and it bonded us. We both wanted more and worked together to give our children two parents, that we didn't have and to provide a home for and the necessities we didn't have.
What is it they say, the disadvantaged are hungry and work harder, i believe this.

My take on this...
...is that it's a mindset which needs to evolve from its current primitive state. In my city there's a certain community which believes in "honor" punishment of women who have breached no real law. Quite a few women, wives and daughters, have been actually killed or badly injured. However, the attackers seem hypocritically oblivious to the fact that honor punishments are against our nation's laws. These practices repel me and I point my finger at male pride as the source. As for the separation of classes, pride is again involved (in this case, both genders) and the practice should be resisted. Let natural attraction follow its course. Just my take...

I think one should marry whom they want! They should reach for their goals and aspirations no matter where they are from! Everyone is important! sam

Straightforward, It won't matter what you say to him about his views. He is just waiting to be challenged. The only thing that might help is to express your position without mentioning his, such as: "I just love it that......" or "I think its wonderful that...." or "What a great example 'so and so' is setting for others..."
