Except she's not making this point from a "I'm lower class" or "I didn't go to college" standpoint, just an "I'm Canadian and don't get this American crap" one
"I am from a slightly different culture from yours in which college education is not a positional status good because we have other positional status goods so I don't understand your use of this positional status good."

Yes, exactly this. Plus it's not out of the question that she's less than fully aware this is pegged to class, since she disproportionately knows other media people (which is where this kind of thing is most visible). She's very smart though so that's probably not it.

But she's not really referencing them using it as a positional status good, just stereotypes about people who went to different colleges. As in “she has Sarah Lawrence energy”

The positional status good is knowing what "Sarah Lawrence energy" means because you know lots of people who went to Sarah Lawrence, a $65,000 a year private school.
