Bourgeois. Closest English term I can think of which conveys a similar notion is WASP.

I believe they might have been called "city-folk" at some point... maybe the equivalent of suburbanites or gated-community-dwellers today. Maybe saying, "that's a gated-community mentality!" would convey a similar meaning in a succinct and relatively PC way.

What do you think the "W" stands for in WASP?

I am fully aware of what it represents, hence the need to come up with a less divisive term. I was just observing that it's often used in that context.
