This Is What I've Been Saying - Part 2
(or "I Have Been Validated -- Finally")
"Essentially I found that everybody got every job, throughout their entire lives, because somebody helped them. They know someone or they know someone who knows someone, etc. This is so pervasive that I came to understand that almost every job is wired..." - From "Interview with Nancy DiTomaso, sociologist" in the Background Readings from RACE - The Power of an Illusion | PBS in the SOCIETY section.
Go now and read.... this is good stuff. You heard me... go. I'll be here... basking.
Preferences
I've been reading (and reading about) Tim Wise for the last several years. Consider his take on the preferences bruha and the U of M Affirmative Action case.

This Is What I've Been Saying
(Related Topic)In undergrad I took an Anthropology class. The instructor was a big burly Grizzly Addams lookalike who appeared he'd be more at home doing field research than teaching a class.
But he was a good instructor. Turned a "throaway credit" class into one I couldn't miss. One of the things he posited that I'll never forget was "there is no biological basis for Race. It's all cultural..." and of politcial significance.

Is Harvard Really Worth It?
Does an elite college really pay?
