I wouldn't think OP is calling Michigan weak academically.

However, on a side note we decided NOT to apply after the armed protest at the State House and the plot to kidnap the Gov. We decided the MW hasn't changed enough in the last 40 years and have zero interest in DC having a "proud boy" as a roomie

I know the admissions office is weeping over your decision

My husband and I both attended schools in the Midwest. College towns are far more liberal than the surrounding areas. The Proud Boys aren’t the people you’d find there.

I attended University of Illinois a few decades ago coming from Main Line Philadelphia and I was shocked at the deep seated racism and anti-semetism at the school. Some examples:
* sororities and and fraternities were segregated and did not pledge across perceived " different race" lines - this included SE Asians ( Pakistanis ). We had no social mixers with Sammy, for example because ummmm " dating leads to marriage .. and I am not sure the alumni and our parents would approve of that " full stop

* I often dined with teammates who were AA. I once had a strange guy appear in my dorm doorway to " warn me" that " That kinda thing.... isn't tolerated here " He dissapeared after giving me his " message"

* People would make jokes every time Angie and Jesse kissed on camera in All My Children... it was a mystery to me what they found so funny so I asked . " the lips" was the response.... these were college aged girls who had all gotten above 1300 on SAT and all went on to work as CPA's or Ad Execs or in Finance in Chicago.

They always said the same thing when I challenged them , " I am not a racist ...Its just the way we were raised"

How many decades ago?! Another U of I grad here, and that’s definitely not the way things were when I attended. (I may be younger than you though.)

Perhaps, PP you colored within the lines and so you didn't draw the racists out ? Did you date anyone AA while you were at U of I ?

Would you speak up if you heard someone say, " he tried to Jew me down on the price ". My step-father was Jewish. I dreaded him hearing that type of comment on parent's weekend.

Never in 30 years of living on the East Coast had I heard the same frequency of racist and anti-semetic comments I did in just a single year at U of I.

Well, I am Jewish, but no, I didn’t date any black men while there. There were some in our friend group though.

Look, I’m not questioning whether or not you experienced those things. I went to U of I for undergrad and then grad school in Boston. I heard just as many racist and anti-Semitic comments in Boston as I did Champaign-Urbana.

But seriously - who watched All My Children in college? Are you, like, 100?

Boston, now there's a great town for race relations.

You must be a millennial bc a lot of our generation x watched soaps in college.... nothing else to watch at the time if there was no cable.

The Midwest is more racist than the east coast. Except major east coast cities, like Boston, and anything south of... Canada?

NP- there are a ton of racists on the east coast. They just aren’t as loud about it as Midwesterners.

I’m not so sure that’s true. I’ve lived in the Midwest, Boston, NH, Philadelphia, and DC. Plenty of vocal racists everywhere.

Again, I saw just as much racism at my Boston school as I did my Champaign-Urbana school. But yes, it appears that I am younger than you.

Bloomberg was an electrical engineer. So was my father who sold his computer programming business for a chuck of change in the 90’s. And even if an engineer who works at JPL is has a salary position they might love their job and feel satisfied with what they do. More than most people can say...

23:09 here. I have tons of engineers in my family. A few exceptions does not a rule make.

My brother also trained as an electrical engineer. He started up a company, took it international, sold it for kabillions and retired at 48. Yes, he is brilliant, creative, and a great problem-solver. He also had fantastic people skills, strategic vision, and a willingness to take risks. Most engineers don't.

Bloomberg's lack of people skills and empathy are what has held him back in politics, despite his billions.
