Presumably people give priority to 'class' because it's all about access to property and the division of labor, but you can't talk about those things without quickly running into race, gender, sexuality, etc. Why are some occupations seen as "black" or "feminine" - or "black" and "feminine"? Why do black American households have so much less wealth than white ones at the same income level? Sure there's a lot more to racial & sexual oppression than these economic categories, but I don't see how you can talk about class in isolation from the rest.
