[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so, a question I feel I can ask you all, because this has been such a smart and thoughtful DCUM thread.

I am white and grew up middle class/flyover state/not connected, and without being specific, my creative work has landed in the (art field here) equivalent of the NYT. I went to a state school.

DD, whose side I am 100 percent on, [b]went to Harvard[/b]. I understand that she grew up without money and will never be part of the rarified old money circles that DCUM is obsessed with; me neither! But wasn't Harvard supposed to put her in spitting distance or same level as these people, if not leapfrog them? Because of the connections and access it gave her alone? I mean, it's not like Ng and Larson are Kennedys or Bushes or something -- they are average people.

I guess this state school grad is asking: How can Larson "punch down" on a Harvard grad due to class? I understand that Larson is totally out of line; but I am not totally following DD cast as a *class* underdog.

I ask this honestly and without agenda; as mentioned, team DD and Larson is a bad person/bad artist: How is a Harvard grad a subject of classism from less-than-Harvard grads?

She went to Scripps, then Harvard [b]Divinity School.[/b] This may have another negative against her by the Chunky Monkies[/quote]
