<p>Are people who go to ivy league colleges and other elite colleges “superior” to people who go to lower schools and community college? I think so… Ivy league graduates are more likely to fund and do cancer research than CC graduates, and a larger percentage of community college graduates commit homicide than ivy league graduates… (generally, not always though)</p>
<p>I disagree. I think there are plenty of people who go to state schools and CCs who are driven, enthusiastic, intelligent people but must go (for financial reasons) or prefer to go (they save money, closer to home, maybe they like a certain faculty member or the campus, etc, etc).</p>
<p>Saying ivy league graduates are superior to community college graduates is like saying that, per se, asians are superior to hispanics because they conduct more cancer research or a black is superior to a white because they are less likely to commit homicide (or vice-versa in any situation; i don’t have any statistics on me). </p>
<p>It’s utterly ignorant.</p>
<p>I go to an “elite” university in Canada, and no, what I see here are not superior human beings. They just think they are.</p>
<p>And since when is cancer research the end-all, be-all of superiority? I know paramedics on the front lines in Toronto who went to community college for it, and they save more lives in one month than most doctors do over their entire careers.</p>
