As VSO's interviewers are predominantly members of the middle class or the upper class, VSO tends to employ British people from the same privileged backgrounds.
Class consciousness is endemic in British society today, and always has been. Very often the wrong people get the top jobs, according to their accent and class, instead of their ability. Of course, that's bad for Britain's economic development. In fact, the UK is notorious worldwide for its discriminatory class system, which is being perpetuated by the government of the day.
In contrast, across the pond, Americans are being urged by Obama to forget about their class differences and unite in order to pull their country out of recession.
