This is an interesting observation. I have different angles on elitism. I mentioned in my previous tweets I don’t believe the existence of “deaf elitism” but there is definitely a hierarchy. I would like to see an elaboration on this perspective.

going to a college, whether it’s a community college or university, is a privilege AND/OR a personal choice. the name of the university on a resume or by mouth can determine but not entirely how your life is navigated.
do we become an “elite” once we graduate from a college?
if we’re talking about the deaf community, Gallaudet & RIT are considered the mecca for deaf people all over the world. this i know for a fact. we WANT to go there.
