Isn’t racism a pretty good proxy for class?
PJ O’Rourke quipped, “Racism is very lower-class. Upper-class people are never racists; they’re anti-Semites.”
At universities this is especially true. Racism is not tolerated, anti-Semitism “depends on the context.”
- detaro 1y agoNah, "upper" class is just better at wording it in less obvious ways when being too open about it is not politically opportune.
- UltraSane 1y agoNo. Racism is used by the rich to divide the poor and keep them from fighting the rich that are actually exploiting them.
- queenkjuul 1y agoI've known plenty of wealthy racists, and there's one running the country right now, and i don't believe you at all regarding universities.
