Sorry, I misspoke. Pearl wasn't intentionally looking down on Amethyst. After Amethyst confronted her, Pearl had to evaluate the way she acted towards Amethyst. She didn't know what she was doing. She was unconsciously prejudiced. I'm glad Pearl was called out on that, it sparks an important conversation about people being more than where they're from. Marhawkman said it well, so I won't ramble. I just wanted to clarify what I was saying.

And again I still don't think Pearl or Garnet look down on her at all, aware or unaware of such. Amethyst Attacked Pearl in this episode becuase she called the Kindergarden a horrible place, Amethyst took this as an insult at her thinking of herself becuase she associate's the kindergarden with herself while Pearl mentioned she didn't share the same feelings on the subject, she was mearly the byproduct of it. I don't blame Pearl for this, this is just how she see's things. And apparently her being straightforward and blunt clashed with with this huge insecurity Amethyst felt, that 'no one else knew about' and I cannot stress that enough here.

Amethyst even called herself bad, again becuase of how she viewed herself. She thought of the Kindergarden as 'her entire existance' and Clearly the other Gems didn't, they thought of her as one of their own viewing the kindergarden as Amethyst's begining and believing that is the only relevence it had on her life and that everything else was entrely her own. Pearl even thought Amethyst was proud of being something 'Good' that came from a bad place, I mean I detected geniune admiration from Pearl when she said that. And I believe her apology was for not realising how much Amethyst was affected by her past when she was speaking of the kindergarden.

Again this is all my opinion, and I guess trying to believe the best in these characters makes that the unpopular opinion.
