"Not a place for peasants"

" I should mention that I have had very little problems with white students on campus.

They largely ignore me and seem to live in another world.

This is odd, of course, but it does not affect my experience at Rhodes in a terribly negative way.

I was brought up to think of whites as aliens.

But middle class black students seem to be desperate to flaunt their wealth and to distance themselves from students from my background.

This level of passionate rejection seems expressive of deep insecurity, of some kind of inferiority complex that they cover up with their status games." Link
