The R-Elitism

Even though the Wee Shu Min hoophola has blown over, one still cannot deny that the group she represents is still around and most probably have NOT learnt from her no brainer actions. Elitlists- I'll classify them into 2 broad groups.

The Obnoxiously direct ones. Aura of superiority waxing in full force, always having that smug look where one can NEVER find even a tinge of humility in it. The usual rich, powerful/famous PARENTS or good looking kind with "please don't come near me if you are NOT as good as me" scrawled all over them. They can't really tolerate being around the regular plebian class of the society they are in, their presence are simply offensive. What they do Not realise though is that others (namely the non patrician class) don't really enjoy their company too. Their nose is simply too high to notice any form dislike being directed at them.

On to the second more subdued kind. These seem pretty normal and ok to be with at first glance. Of course this is probably due to them being rich/ famous and not so good looking. Upon initial interaction, the air of elitism starts seeping out in small doses. Its just laced all over the words/references, content they talk about. Chat about badminton and he/she shares with you about the badminton champion he/she has for a friend. Deciding on what to eat? Let him/her recommend one of the hotels which their friend's family owns. But PLEASE do not rile him up even a little with your lesser than his average abilities/ mental capacity. He would start transforming into the Type 1 mentioned above. Kinda true that you cant hide your true nature forever under a false veil.


In Singapore, the breeding grounds for these Elitists have always been the same place in Bishan. No prizes for guessing where :)
