The disdain for working class culture among academics was part of the reason I choose not to pursue a formal higher education.
You don't have to agree with everyone around you on every topic in order to get along. How often do these topics come up in a professional setting anyway? He must be one of those annoying people that wants to talk about sports 24/7. I enjoy sports and it doesn't cause me any trouble in my academic career. I thought everyone understood that it's generally good manners to choose topics of conversation that all involved are interested in. You don't go around talking to anyone and everyone about Everquest, do you? Does this mean there's disdain for Everquest culture?
