I’m seeing charges of elitism being thrown around pretty broadly these days. One of the things that I think is missing from the discussion is that elitism bears the same relationship to being a member of the elite that racism does to being a member of a race. You can be a member of the elite without being an elitist and be an elitist without being elite.
Which one says Happy Samhain? Non-elite elities or elite non-elites? Or is it just geeks?
