I work with college kids. The snowflakes largely hang out among themselves. People seek people who are like themselves. The engineering, nursing, and business kids are no different and I would imagine Yale is no different. Freshman year there is a fair amount of mixing but as years advance and general requirements met and advanced specialized classes taken, mixing vastly decreases.

Snowflakes are 10% of the population on a campus but make 90% of the noise. Perhaps at Yale it is 95%. See the obnoxious jerk in the video above.

Yale really is populated by very high achievers.

Interesting. I googled the video. The first comment on Youtube I saw said "China is going to eat us alive." This one hit home.

So I dove a bit deeper

Alexandra Zina Barlowe and Abdul-Razak Mohammed Zachariah are the two incohenrant snowflakes in the video. Yale gave its Nakanishi Prize for their rantings.

Alexandra "Lex" became some kind of activist in CA joining various activist groups. You can Google her if you wish.
Abdul lists he is a childrens book writer (and blogger?)

Yale may not have achieved a 100% snowflake student body yet, but that's not from a lack of trying.

Quote:
Yale will stop teaching a storied introductory survey course in art history...

this change is the latest response to student uneasiness over an idealized Western “canon” — a product of an overwhelmingly white, straight, European and male cadre of artists.

This spring, the final rendition of the course will seek to question the idea of Western art itself...

The class will also consider art in relation to “questions of gender, class and ‘race’” and discuss its involvement with Western capitalism, Barringer wrote. Its relationship with climate change will be a “key theme,”
