<p>What are the stereotypes that you/or you think people in general have about Princeton students?</p>
<p>Wealthy, preppy, WASPy.</p>
<p>Proud to uphold the Princeton stereotype.</p>
<p>you shouldn't be proud.</p>
<p>conservative?</p>
<p>is p-town seen as southern and aristocratic?</p>
<p>not southern...but definitely aristocratic...</p>
<p>Do people mix well, such as in terms of different ethnicity and social class? I think there is nothing wrong with a population being homogenious as long as people are accepting of those who do not fit the stereotype.... though that's kind of hard to do, I guess.</p>

<p>That's not something to be proud of, because the characteristics such as racially intolerant, snobby, etc also come with the Princeton stereotype.</p>
<p>Why do people automatically equate wealthy= bad. Does that imply that all poor people are innately virtuous? </p>
<p>I am also curious as to why many of the same people who condemn racism feel free to denigrate an entire cross-section of humanity as undesirable because their ancestors happen to be Northern European Protestants.</p>
<p>Now, the preppy thing I totally get -- people should most certainly be punished for their style of dress...wt%? Where is the tolerance and openmindedness this generation is supposed to espouse?</p>
<p>I'm not talking about a generation, I'm just talking about Princeton's rather undiverse, intolerant, old-boy's atmosphere that existed till the late twentieth century.</p>
<p>Wealthy, preppy people aren't bad. I'm just pointing out that the Princeton stereotype is not of wealthy, preppy boys, but of wealthy, preppy boys with an intolerant, elitist attitude.</p>
<p>Perhaps you're misinterpreting my comment.</p>
<p>Well, people can misinterpret any characteristic in a person....strangely, this is called "stereotyping"! </p>
<p>Dizzymom, thank you for defending. First off, that initial statement was tongue-in-cheek, and second - why shouldn't I be proud of who I am? </p>
<p>I will likely be the most liberal minded person on campus! President of College Democrats mwahahhah</p>
<p>mzhang, I wasn't responding to you; I know you and ilcapo are having fun. I just failed to take my anti-troll medication for the day...</p>
<p>College Democrats.... ptahhh. <em>spits on Ilcapo, hands over hankerchief to wipe it up in apology</em> I still love you though, even if you're... misinformed. ;)</p>
<p>Ilcapo, Princeton College Democrats has 1000 members.</p>
<p>Go College Dems! <em>recoils from backlash</em></p>
<p>Lots of rich people at UCLA. And its a public school. How strange. I guess it must be the lifestyle!</p>
<p>College Independents, anyone? =D</p>
<p>haha...reminds me of a great satire essay/article I saw in UT's Texas Travesty about the Centrist Group on campus and how indecisive they are. It's hilarious. Hehe</p>
<p>Texas sucks. California rules. We are superior.</p>
<p>Can't wait to see Texans in Los Angeles County (11 million citizens and 65% Kerry) at the Rose Bowl. muhahahaha!</p>
<p>Whoaaa, buddy. Stop right there. Don't talk 'bout my Longhorns. You can diss Princeton because...well...it's just inane, but UT is sacred ground. Besides, Austin is predominantly liberal, so I doubt there'd be that much of a problem with being in LA...</p>
