Yale dean showing off her tolerance

A Yale dean showed her multi cultural spirit by calling lower class white people "white trash" and other charming names. 

Shockingly, (and I was seriously shocked by this) she was placed on leave. I would have bet the house that she was not going to be punished at all. After all, colleges aren't really known for taking a stand against professors and academics who speak like this.

The blunt and brutal truth is that attitudes like this are all over the place in elite circles, and Yale is without question part of the elite establishment. This is why Trump won. The elites of both parties sneer at working class white-they also sneer at working class minorities but they wouldn't be caught dead saying anything out loud about non-white working class people because they know it would cost them their career. My take? Making fun of working class/poor people of any color is rude and insulting.  

It's funny/sad to me how the elites love to act like they help people by advocating large social projects that claim to "help the poor" while in private (or in her case, public) sneering at lower class people.

I'm glad that it's getting attention throughout the media, but the dean will be back with a pay raise, a more powerful position and a long career ahead of her after this blows over.
