The subtle and not so subtle racist tone of some of these posts are perhaps more revealing of U of Chicago Alumni than the realities that exists anywhere south (insert black people live here) or west (insert mexican people live here) of campus. It is also interesting how humanizing people has been reduced to “politically correct fun and games.” That being said, do you think that the posh environment of the U of Chicago would be subject to extreme violence? U of Southern California is in South Central Los Angeles, but rich Orange County white folks have been sending their kids there for generations. As soon as one of them gets looked at the wrong way, the LAPD and campus police are on it yesterday. Given, the elitist institution that Chicago is I don’t think there is any reason to be alarmed.
