I don't find it at all hard to believe that there are Harvard grads in Texas. Unless one is a trust fund baby, one must go where the jobs are. Particularly in technology.

It is just that Texans and Harvardites are the only two groups who take their innate superiority over all others for granted under ANY circumstances.

I've even known humble people from other Ivies and from Cal Tech.

Cheers!

True, tis a curse we must bear, but we are usually kind to our inferiors. That is why I am talking to you. :-)

However, I am sure that you know that your reasoning is a hasty generalization. Your opinion of the Harvardites and Texans YOU HAVE KNOWN or known of may be true or those opinions may be shaped by your predisposition to that view. I suspect the latter. Have you ever thought that perhaps your opinion of them influences their reaction to you?
