Hypothesis, which I have thought about for all of about 30 seconds: the more elitist the school (or workplace, or profession), the more it needs to profess (loudly, and without toleration of dissent) that it is anti-racist, anti-capitalist, etc. The fact that this article is describing a very elite school with wealthy parents is not a coincidence, or even ironic, it is the driving factor that makes it that way. Why is this? Because, as the concentration of wealth in the top (and almost entirely white) ranks of the U.S. causes people in that group to know, perhaps subconsciously, that a violent backlash is coming, and they want to get out of the way of it. Without, you know, actually losing their privileged spot.
