What's an elitist?

I take the position that elitist is someone that takes pride in belonging to a select or favoured group... at the exclusion of others.
I have no issue with people seeking to be elite (i.e. the best at what they do). I do take issue with those who would exclude others because they are too "common" or "base" (not elite enough?).
