D & C inserts plenty of American culture. The aforementioned privilege is a part of said culture (mailbox smashing anyone?). The bicentennial setting and the optimism for the 80's after what was perceived as a drag decade. This is especially intriguing given that music was a central figure in the film and the 70's was a fucking fantastic era for music on all fronts. Those kids didn't know how good they had it. It's also a look at a small town culture with what amounts to city-sponsored hazing, rights of passage, and transitioning from one phase to the next. There's plenty of commentary to discuss about D&C. In fact, everything on this list is worthy of such discussion.
Now, to your point about K&P tackling race and class and doing so responsibly, that's the sort of thing I was hoping to read and that's a valid point. It's probably the high moral water mark in this mix and earns points for that. i got no beef with that criteria.

Meh. Different apples IMO. Fucking that pie wasnt hilarious pie fucking is hilarious, it's hilarious because he got caught. By his dad, a guy who added awkward insult to every injury.
