You all know about the whole "unicorn master race" and stuff like that. There seems to be a bit of a unicorn bias in Equestian culture. Heck, there are groups like the "Unicorn supremacy group" that are all about the "unicorn master race," and the group also discriminates against earth ponies. Earth ponies seem to have it bad. That, and not many bronies have an OC that's an earth pony. Now, rambling over. Here is the question: Do YOU think that there will be an earth pony rebellion sometime in the future?
I believe roughly 100% of bronies who believe in unicorn supremacy, as in they are a more intelligent and worthy of life species, are satirical. Although a fair amount of bronies I believe feel that unicorns are superior to to earth ponies in that magic is just a lot more useful than not-magic. As for having OCs, well a lot of people use OCs as self-inserts, and people want their self-inserts to be bad-ass and earth ponies are inherently less bad ass than either pegasi or unicorns. In the show, I'm admittedly not entirely sure why the writers did the whole 'unicorns are upper class' type thing. Maybe they just wanted to seperate the races into distinct groups so they can show them coming together in Hearth's Warming? And for the earth pony rebellion, I'm quite surprised someone hasn't already written a fic about it. And if they have, I couldn't find it.
