My experience from Latin America, India, and the Persian Gulf: you meet someone who appears very nice, thoughtful, sophisticated, erudite (reads, say Calvino)… only to see him treat waiters and drivers in a way to intentionally deprive them of their humanity, as if they were another brand of living things that cannot be possibly worthy of respect. They tend to add insult to the injury of the have-nots.
