"People often demonstrate the outgroup bias (see Haslam et al., 1996) when making judgments about people from some other group. It's like "We are all different from one another. But them? They are all the same."

    As far as Central, it is like a good band in a small club compared to arena rock. Both can be good but in different ways.

    Well, stereotypes often exist for a reason. People tend to group into self-conforming groups. I'm sure the faculty at Harvard considers themselves as diverse and views white blue collar people as uniformly deplorable and yet the faculty votes more as a herd than the deplorables.

    So like considering all Trump voters to be uneducated racists?
    Considering? Where else but from the uneducated comes the self-destructive protectionism, nationalism and nativism?

    My E WA garbage collector has 2 degrees from Central.

    He does a good job of it, though, so I guess that supports your theory.

    You gave that a FuckOff, D2? What do you have against a Central grad with 2 degrees and gainful employment?

    Is it so rare that it makes you jealous?
