Stop the elitism


The University of Xiamen has made golf classes compulsory for students in law, management, economy and software engineering. Presumably so they could be part of the ‘elite’.

First of all, there are many people who are part of the ‘elite’ but don’t play golf.

An secondly, this is really an attempt to raise an elite class of people who believe they are superior to the workers, and the peasants, and the ordinary people who are doing an ordinary job and don’t belong to this ‘elite’, ‘high level’, ’superior’ class of, well the ‘Elite’.

Dress code obligatory of course, the ‘elite’ dresses well, in suit and tie.

Very well, go on, but don’t be surprised when the next Cultural Revolution comes along and you get a dunce cap on your head.
