used to call people out on social snobbery
Does " used to call people out on social snobbery" mean "used to reprimand people for their snobbery"?
------------------
Some people have suggested that the girl should have talked gently to her boyfriend's parents and silently resigned herself to her fate, but such an expectation is as vacuous as our fantasy of idyllic rural scenery. We still believe in interclass romance. In our contemporary culture the traditional concept of "Men Dang Hu Dui" (Marrying within one’s station) is no longer upheld but is now used to call people out on social snobbery.
