Probably regrets being a man-hater gender studies concentration who's unmarried and childless at the tail end of her fertile years?

She literally wrote she dreams of living in a big McMansion in Florida, so safe to say she's pretty vain beneath her patina of righteous gender equality.

I've seen some crazy ass gender studies feminists, Marxist lesbians, in my college days.

And both of her books are about minority girls who go to elite colleges. Sounds like she owes her entire professional career to Cornell. Is she just trying to rationalize why she hasn't donated a dime to her alma mater?

But, but, but if she had only gone to UF instead she would have a rich husband, a mcmansion with a water view and she would be spending her days shopping, sailing, sipping wine and playing tennis with her HS bff.....

She couldn't afford Cornell then and had to turn it down for a community college. She's now a loud-mouth low-level govt clerk. Yeah, the one you saw at DMV. After seeing her in action, I realized Cornell isn't all that. It's a school that takes in a CC-level student for stats purpose.

Perhaps you'd like to explain what being a Latina has to do with anything else that your wrote?

You are right, none. Just rude and loud that's in any group, any school, all walks of life.

Affirmative action in Ivy admissions, hiring practices, and apparently, nyt op-ed approval process. And she still finds room to complain. Too funny.

Maybe this is what her blue collar parents dreamed for her and are up in her business, a lot, helping to build self-doubt as middle age approaches. I’m guessing they are not able to brag about her career choice and actively wonder why she isn’t doing something else.

What is her ethnicity? I saw some of her talks on youtube and she looks white to me. She was a first generation college student at Cornell and she grew up in Miami.

Why would someone born and raised in Florida have an accent...?

And I do realize that American born people usually do not have discernible accents.
