I seem to recall it was a standard in the post-Recostruction South. The dirt poor white family was basically on the bottom, but could feel superior to any black family...even if the black family was actually better off, because of the rules and pecking order. Some of those rules, while gone in name and law, still exist in spirit in some of those places. Mostly because it hasn't been all that long since the Federal Government stomped those laws out (a generation or two, as that was the 1960s).

Oh and some still consider a Constitutional Monarchy as a monarchy...because it does have a king or queen. The head of state for all Commonwealth nations is still Queen Elizabeth II if I remember correctly. At least her head is on the currency still.
