No, I beg to disagree. I will take the ivy league Snobs over hard working technical college graduate! R u freaking kidding me? I love Ivy League snobs. They are irreverently lazy, dismissive, judgmental, highly articulate, oh did I mention-- snobbish? Who doesn't like a latte drinking softie with a hyper liberal disposition, who recite poem at the flip of a fingers, rolls eyes, calls you dumb if you cannot at least spew history, philosophy and literature at the command of your submitting audience. Who wants a dull, idiot with practical head, who can change the toilet paper rolls. No, give me a highly eloquent fop who cant put gasoline on his car, and depends on a chauffer, and cannot wait to outshine in the dinner table!

That said, I'm a fan of Rageh Omaar. He's well loved by the British Somali community. I've read his books about growing up in Britain. You Canadians have Knaan who raps as your inspiration, we have an Oxford graduate 8)

Baasto, he left the BBC and use to call it 'the white mans club'.

but at the end of the day what separates people from getting them top jobs is work experience.
