People just tend to think of others in terms of status, pointing this out is not going to change it (and it's not even really that much of a start) because this is so deeply ingrained in our ways of thinking that we can't even begin to realize all the ways we do it.

A much more pragmatic thing to say to people is just "be nicer."
