How does his background make him immune to bigotry?  If you know, then 
we need to market that lifestyle in a book...we'll be bazillionaires..I 
can see it now..

Seriously Gene,,,there is bias built in to everyone...you KNOW that, and 
even the word 'nearly' doesn't make it better.
As one who attended Emory University (AKA the Harvard of the South), I 
have a bias regarding Harvard alums...for better or for worse, I 
stereotype them..I feel like I know the type..and THAT is a bias. 
Harvard alums can be a bit elitist, as can Emoroids like me..and 
regardless of the truth of our backgrounds, we ALL name drop that 
University to gain advantage.  And yes, I know that BHO went to Harvard, 
and since I also went to a similar uppercrust school, I can say "oooooo, 
I'm soooo impressed...not..lol)
