[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Descriptors like cutthroat and striver are not bigoted. Talk to your therapist about why you think they are.[/quote]

Talk to your high school English teacher about how “striver” is “pejorative” but other word choices, like “strong work ethic” are not.

Talk to a friend, if you have any, about why you think Jews, Asians, or anybody at one school more than another school, is “cutthroat.”

You seem like a real gem, and real smart to boot. Our families should get together for a barbecue.[/quote]

How insufferable, pest-like and desperate are you in real life? At Chicago, we’d say you’re acting very “that kid”.[/quote]

Because indulging stereotypes of Jews and Asians as “cutthroat strivers” is really cool and great at Chicago? Doubt it very much. At Columbia we’d call you a bigot.

Clearly the people insulting you—and my posts weren’t the worst—have gotten under your skin. As they should.[/quote]

Please cite a source. My husband is Jewish and I've never known cutthroat and striver to be Jew-exclusive epithets. As for Penn, it's currently over 50% Jewish and Asian, which has certainly impacted the overall vibe. Many such grubby tiger cubs.[/quote]
