It's absolutely used in classist and body policing ways in the United States.
As you (may?) know, I write a lot about rural issues in the US because it's something that is not well covered or addressed by the 'progressive left.' There are clear intersections between poverty and rural areas and I find the complete writeoff of any place that's not San Francisco, New York, or Los Angeles despicable to a high degree.
