No, not really. The "rigid class structure" you're getting at is a pop-culture idea that's a caricature of real life. There are cliques in high schools, but that's not just an American thing is it? Football players and cheerleaders are usually pretty popular, and uh, band geeks and math team dorks just aren't. That's natural, right?
But there was a cheerleader in my high school who was dating a guy who was in the drama clique. It happens. I mean, hybridization is an important aspect of the process of natural selection, right? Where are my biology people?
