This thread is surprisingly remarkable…


I would like to take a moment and point out that the word “ethnocentric” has been applied incorrectly, or else there is a disturbing misunderstanding of what groups like CSA, ASU, and APSC are all about and I would be glad to clarify if necessary.
Also a huge LOL @ being frustrated by ambitious women. Perhaps Penn should begin admitting more women who aspire to be dependent trophy wives.
I like the (true) assumption that we all understand the “etc” in “international kids, asians, indians, blacks, jewish, etc” to essentially refer to Latinos, LGBT individuals, Muslims, and other historically oppressed populations. By the way, obvious centripetal forces that come to mind include taking the same classes, eating the same food, using the same resource centers on campus, praying in the same place, being romantically or sexually interested in the same demographic, attending the same events, speaking the same language… plus of course avoiding traces (some more significant than others) of discrimination, insensitivity, and ignorance.
