Professors at Columbia in one of the most expensive cities in the world are barely middle class. They are erudite, so classy and potentially coveted as friends in corporate circles but they certainly don’t have homes in the Hamptons. Zohran did not go to Dalton like Ackman’s daughter. He went to Bronx Science. He is definitely not a trust fund kid. |
He’s smart like his parents. For sure. |
What’s smart about Socialist Cuban style grocery stores? |
Which individual is his largest funder? |
Unsure if she was born in Syria or if she is the descendant of Ellis Island immigrants. Why does it matter? The time period for the family to be in the US? It doesn’t seem to matter if 100 years have passed since your grandparents left the Pale of Settlement. You have not successfully assimilated in American society and are obsessed with a fairy tale about some land near the Mediterranean magically belonging to you. |
Because there are food deserts. Tell me you have never set foot in wards 7 or 8 without telling me. |
Now WHY are there food deserts?? |
Bronx School of Science is one of the best known, most elite "public schools" in the country. I used to to go debate tournaments where they competed along with the most elite private institutions. You have to be completely ignorant of the markers of wealth/elite circles to buy that he's "definitely not a trust fund kid." His financial disclosures list small amounts of cash and then things like large tracts of land. Sounds a lot like someone with an age-restricted trust fund. |
This^. Not just genetic component but growing up among academics, scholars, artists and thinkers from diverse backgrounds and living in Bronx certainly opens up one's mind to different possibilities. |
The people of wards 7 and 8 are hardly starving. |
Why are you so bigoted that the thought of a secularish Muslim candidate drives you and your friends bat $h!t crazy? |
He’s either Muslim or not Muslim. Either way, it’s ok. But at least be honest. |
Is it really okay with you? Why are you freaking out? He’s not the one that flushed 80 years of hasbara down the drain. So please aim your hatred elsewhere. Maybe at a mirror. |
His mother is a fairly well-known filmmaker. He didn't grow up in poverty, exactly. |
