There were outcast groups, such as the Samaritans (John 4:9), who were considered a sort of "half breed;" the diseased, such as lepers; and to the Jews, and the tax-collectors (such as Zacchaeus, Luke 19:1-9), who were also Jewish, but serving the Roman oppressor and themselves by collecting unduly high taxes from the people.
There were also individuals, such as the "woman at the well" (John 4) in Samaria who was probably notorious for her many marriages and thus forced to use the well at the noon hour when others did not us it; and the demon-possessed man at the tombs in Mark 5:1-5.

∙ 10y agoLepers were outcast because of their disease. Prostitutes were social outcasts because of their profession as were shepherds, because they worked around animals on a continual basis and were considered unclean. Publicans (Tax collectors) were outcasts because they worked for the occupation forces (Rome). There were probably others.

Why were tax collector outcasts?
I'm assuming you mean in Biblical times since this question is under religion and spirituality. No one likes the tax collector and they are particularly hated when it is suspected that they keep a portion of the monies/goods collected for themselves.

Does social class still exist?
Actually it does. Not an actual, physical social class, but a mental one. Lets use a public school as an example. They have preppies,jocks,geeks, then outcasts. The preppies usually only associate with other preppies, the jocks only hang with other jocks, the geeks chill with other geeks, and the outcasts (the lowest"class") only chat with other outcasts. Catch my drift? (understand)?
