And a big part of Christianity has to do with doing away with such standards. To be willing to cross group boundaries, especially ones you feel are beneath you. I remember someone saying once (maybe it was CS Lewis himself), that the most powerful image in Christianity wasn't the cross, but Jesus washing the feet of the disciples.
Yes, I think this is exactly what Christians mean when they say pride is a sin.
To refrain from demanding special treatment, and to value even those whom we could easily judge to be inferior.
