Actual context:
> I'm reading Shamus Khan's excellent book on St Paul's School, Privilege. The school, once a major institution of the old WASP establishment, has "diversified" itself enormously over the last generation. Khan, the son of upwardly mobile immigrants from Pakistan, went there and taught there for a while. They are extremely fucking serious about diversity. A third of the student body is on aid. The old WASP legacies are now a small minority within the school and a bit of a joke. This notion of white supremacy is way way out of date - which, of course, doesn't stop people from robotically reciting it as if nothing has changed since 1957.
