As an asian myself, I can understand how your image/appearance can matter in the way people interact with you. It can literally have an impact in your social status, and a lot of people in these cultures have prejudices and they don't even try to hide it. One misstep can put everything at risk (there is no second chance given, and there is a whole generalization made due to a single mistake).
In my culture, if I make a mistake, my whole family is prejudiced. So I'm not that shocked that the actions of some students are taken as the general behavior of the whole school, especially if we think about classism, because yes, Kikyo discriminate against Chidori, because of their level of education. It's a fact, unfortunately.
It can seem silly for you, especially if you haven't grown in this type of culture but this is a real thing (even though the resolution is really shojo-like, and in tune with this manga in general)...
