All of the following are true of classism except:

A) Classism is an ideology that perpetuates social stratification.
B) Classism suggests that those who work hard will achieve success.
C) Classism results in blaming the victim.
D) The United States and Canada are not examples of classism due to each country's guiding principle of equality of opportunity.

Classism is a form of social discrimination based on socioeconomic status, with a belief in the superiority of certain classes over others. It perpetuates social stratification by reinforcing the idea that individuals in higher classes are inherently better than those in lower classes. Classism often results in blaming the victim and assuming that individuals in lower classes are solely responsible for their inability to achieve upward mobility. However, the statement that the United States and Canada are not examples of classism due to each country's guiding principle of equality of opportunity is incorrect. Despite these principles, there are still significant disparities in wealth and access to resources based on one's class background.
