[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everything about college these days...from the admissions process to the day to day culture of what "matters"... seems so backwardass stupid - I'm embarrassed for the administrators and the parents buying into it all....[/quote] +1. It seems to be playing into our worst instincts as humans, to make everything tribal. All of this obsession with identities feeds into that mentality. I'm surprised more people don't see this for what it is, it's an extension of some of the worst traits of human beings. It's very natural to group people together and stereotype and discriminate, but we seem to be leaning into the primal need to identify with a group as if this is a good thing. [/quote]
