Elitism


Why elitism is getting to be like racism...
Nothing wrong of having a group of people good in something...but the doors should not be closed to others...This is what is happening

Elistism... the Dodo-island (Dodo-ism ?) form of it is to be denounced as racism ...its like casteism in India or the old money monkeys in England.

The generation post the 1950....worked hard to open doors of opportunity but they are closing for others...

They make sure that their kids need places in College Royal and Queen Elizabeth college...
Why is it that those without connection does not make it to tertiary education...or lets say only a few can...

I remember the days of the Unesco-minister where scholaships were sneaked distributed ...who got the Australian scholarships...who knew...you would not even know the ranks past the first 10.

Why "protect your montagne"...

Opportunity is as important as freedom as speech or concept of equality whatever be your race or gender or religion or sexual behavior.

Keeping the doors of opportunity closed and letting your sibblings, friends, or your own class through the back door is despicable.

I remember 2 years ago an old man from Riviere des Anguilles came to get his passport renewed...he was told to take a form and get it filled....obviously that will take him through a few days...as he had to go back and get somebody fill that for him.....simultaneously a Dodoist came along with a clerk (cousin, or family or pal) and she got in and got her passport application on a fast track...Isn't that despicable.....Change the actors ..Dodoist by white people and old man black...we would call this as racism isn't it ?

Its no point of going to "College Royal" if your talent is not academia or medicine...let those who can do. Give pride to every job... And college Royal was a tragedy of education...I remember that famous physics teacher who did not even know what he was talking ....except horse races....
That's elistism for you...
