I'm confused - are you a student or faculty member here that you're able to tell so well what issues this campus does or does not have? Or are you simple someone without a particularly large amount of firsthand exposure who assumes that because we
used to be a bastion of privilege we must still be, and that anybody who says otherwise is being needlessly rosy-eyed?
As I've said before, your viewpoint reflects more on you than on Princeton.
Nobody denies that we have a heritage of privilege and exclusionary policies. But that has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not we have those same characteristics
now.
So far, to substantiate your point that Princeton posters are overly enthusiastic, you have offered exactly one example that is clearly somebody going overboard. Give me a break. There's hundreds of people who regularly post on this board, and that's the best you can do?
