Are you asserting that all elitism is inherently racist, or just that it's an absolutely impossible explanation in this case?

It feels like you are really reaching to find an alternative explanation, when the original expansion feels pretty clear.

I didn't say it's not racist. I said there are non-racist explanations for the observed behavior.

The second sentence of my post begins "It's probably a bit of both racism and elitism." I was careful to point that out before pointing out that it's jumping to conclusions to use the word "definitely".
