Need to know more about this.

Oh, what sees fit to be journalistically worthy these days... /shudder.

It should be obvious that it's a little bit facetious and broad but give me a fucking break dude take a look at a rich white person's iPod and brace yourself for collected works of OneRepublic.

Are you trying to argue that the SAT isn't racist or that a lot of rich white people are kiiiiiiiiiiind of out of touch with really interesting culture no matter what their laughable attempts to participate in that culture might be? Is that what's happening here? Or are you just arguing with Lil Wayne and trying to defend rich people who, as great arbiters of culture, bump Vampire Weekend on a regular enough basis?

E: I guess if you're rich and white this might stick in your craw but guess what, you're probably the exception.

Hat:
It's really noble that you've taken on the role of cultural defender of the downtrodden masses Johnny but if you honestly believe that poor people have a more authentic grip on culture than the middle and upper classes you have either not spent a lot of time around poor people or you have spent even less time around the upper and middle classes.

Did you watch a sitcom about the upper middle class on television or something and then make that post?

Also how did you get that I might even think that standardized tests like the SAT don't discriminate against poor people? I'm not disputing that at all. In fact, given that a huge portion of poor people do not last until the final year of high school to even sit the SAT/QCS/HSC/Whatever, the odds are that most of the people who are responsible for Lil Wayne's position on this chart are just really fucking lazy privileged people so I can't even figure out what you are trying to say apart from BLURGH BLURGH BLURGH RICH PEOPLE which is really hilarious actually.
