The speeches and chants were rather pathetic in my opinion but the crowd ate them up as usual

I graduated from Stanford. What you saw was the bean-curd and Jesse Jackson crowd. No one takes them seriously, on or off campus. These are the folks who live in Synergy (a campus row house), where they assign bedrooms once a quarter by having an all night talk-fest, comparing their degrees of oppression in order to earn seniority. I knew a few of them, and most of their parents were rich Republicans. It's a rite of passage thing they all go through before becoming investment bankers.

And I should add that the crowd was predominately WHITE.
