I think there is often an assumption that elite = “and therefore I aspire to it and genuflect to people who go or went there, and others will think highly of me if I go there.” I think there are a lot of people in this country for whom the word elite = “uppity, stuffy, for other people not for me, pretentious, boring, undesirable.”

I’m not one of them, lol.
