Actually, class and money, while related, are not the same thing; class has much to do with values and culture as it does money. To use a fictional example, when the protagonists of The Beverly Hillbillies accidentally became rich and moved to the Beverly Hills, it didn't mean they stopped being hillbillies. Their values stayed the same; furthermore, they had no desire to truly stop being "hillbillies," either. With more money, how they expressed those core values changed. That's all.
Also, it should be pointed out, though America is a land of immigrants, we've never liked our newest batch of immigrants from the beginning, and that's definitely more about race and ethnicity than money (though, yes, the fact that many immigrants to America are poor didn't help). So that's the food thing, as well.
This ... actually doesn't have much to do with furry, at all, though. Most furries belong to the same general social class and ethnicity/race as the people who hate (or at least dislike or look down on) them. If class is involved, it's probably that furries transgress their own class's "values" in some way, rather than belonging to a different class.
