An Alpha Plus (highest in the class system) would look down on and think less of a Gamma Minus (lowest in the class system). This form of discrimination, however, is not really discrimination in that it has no moral basis as each person in each class is conditioned from birth to be completely happy at their station

deep into Holden’s chest to keep him from moving. This seemed to
go on for “around ten hours”. When Stradlater finally gave in and let
Holden get up, the struggle started again, ending with a bloody nose

He also did not seem to care about the overall fight, because he
talked of it like it meant nothing to him. “I had a littl .....

Although she preferred the downstairs room with roses all over the windows that
opened on the piazza, the narrator finds herself relegated to an out of the way
dungeon-like nursery on the second floor, appropriately equipped with "rings and
things" in the walls. Windows in each direction provide glimpses of the garden,
