Hi, I think I've read this somewhere but can no longer find it.
For example, if I remember correctly, the barbarian distrust wizard due to wiz draw power from words which the barb is not familiar with. There are views on classes from different race's perspective from APHB and general views on the classes in the campaign book and adventure path player guide, but I cannot find the opinions on each other.
If I remember correctly, they had those sorts of list in the D&D 3.0 Hero Builder's Guidebook.
I think you shouldn't have classes have a floating sign above your head to know what class you are. Also isn't this prejusdiced just on different classes?

Spoil sport.

The classes do not have to be pigeon holed.
Hear! Hear!
Odd, I never read hero builder guidebook but felt I've read similar material somewhere.
From my understanding (English is not my first language), classes are not simply gained abilities, but somewhat a resemblance of what a character is. For example in the Council of thieves player's guidebook, the fluff says barbarians' treatment as bodyguard is worse when compared to a fighter due to local employers don't trust barbarians' chaotic nature.
And since there is a list of general views on different classes for each race instead of based on culture, local residents from different places, or per head, it wouldn't seem to surprising if there is said list imo.
Ultimate Magic makes mention that Magi are viewed by wizards as weirdos and by fighters as nerds(paraphrasing obviously) so some of that is still there.
Hear! Hear!...

Hear hear here as well!
Nor do races have to be stereotyped. Or monsters. Or anything.

3.5 player's handbook. It included, among other things, a brief description of how classes generally feel about the other classes. The page long description of each.class was really good. Much better than this paragraph we have now.
I've actually gotten to a table (think it was a once off) where another player asked me what I was. I replied with "warrior". The response was something along the lines of "You are playing an NPC class? Hardcore"
I don't always like giving my character class away. As stated: people do not walk around with a sign about their heads stating class etc. :P

Thanks, I found these descriptions now. Glad I haven't sold my 3.5 books. =)
I'd say it depends on the character itself.
Due to being an arrogant Chelaxian, my Wizard looks down on any person who can't cast spells. On the other hand, my Barbarian appreciates the utility that a Wizard or Sorcerer can bring. That doesn't mean he automatically trusts that any good will come of it in the long run, though. Other characters can have different attitudes towards certain activities. They're not set in stone. Also, I can imagine someone asking my Cleric character if she's a Wizard since she can cast spells. Of course, she would explain that while she can cast spells, they are gifts from the gods, not concentrations of arcane power.
