Tbh I think ppl like this form a big part of the bull case for america. I dont know any of these ppl but am quite sure none of them are cookie cutter. That being said, issue w this specific tweet is the emphasis on harvard and stanford. One of the unintended side effects of extremely difficult asian american admissions procedures is that you end up creating a kind of performative asian who learns how to impress admissions committees, and this mentality carries on rest of their life. It becomes a focal point for identity. Alumni networks are most useful when it is about in-group camaraderie and reminiscing about the past. Society instinctively hates it when ppl believe they are actually superior bc they attended a certain school. The tweet would’ve been more acceptable if it was just Harvard or just Stanford, as experiential school pride is fine.
