There are two aspects to my comment: (a) whether one agrees with my comment or not (b) whether one understands what's going on in the world. My comment is about (b): the way students and their parents crave for HYP/S undergrad admissions; HYS law schools; Harvard/Stanford b schools; tells us that even those who sneer at elites want their kids to be part of the same elite or at least become servants of that elite.
By the way, I didn't go to any elite college anywhere in the world. However, I want to understand people.
