Yep, it is.

S: (n) elitism (the attitude that society should be governed by an elite group of individuals)

you have got to be kidding me if you think someone buying a bentley over a ford makes them an elitist. Maybe they have expensive taste, maybe they have the money to spend on it, maybe they just want it.

I’m all for frugality and thriftiness, but to imply someone is an elitist because they enjoy expensive things is crazy.

Now if their only reason for buying said bentley (going to Cornell) vs buying a ford (going to a canadian university) is because they want to put on airs and they think that only owning an “elite car” (going to an “elite university” ) is the way you are valuable to society, then yes, they are elitist.
