Here's what George isn't saying... There ain't no dummies in med school. These are very smart people absolutely busting their ass to keep up. At least it used to be that way...

But still, according to @Aqua-Letifer:
It's incredible how categorically terrible most of them are at expressing themselves.

Not a clue.

I dare say it still is. We may frown at their shenanigans, but it's not exactly the end of the world.

By the way, in the Columbia video, count all the white males....
As far as Harvard goes, my experience of wandering around the Cambridge, MA area is that there's no shortage of honky students.

Point being, who thinks it's a good idea to do this video?

I think there's definitely a risk of taking this whole embarrassing attempt to get down with the groovy kids too seriously.

I think it's a bunch of people who think they wear an "oppressed" badge rubbing in the faces of everybody who watches their video, that they win and you lose. I mean that was the point of the Harvard one. Not sure about the Columbia one, which I didn't have the stomach to watch. But I saw the phenotypes who participated.
Their attitude piggybacks on our long-standing cultural deification of doctors and higher formal education, and all the oppression narratives that swim in their brains.

Regarding the oppression narratives, of course nearly all, if not all, of the young women participating in that nonsense, came from upper middle class (or more) two-parent homes. Ok I don't have data to back that up, but I will go ahead and claim it anyway. Oppression-face is so tricky. You can easily belong to a class that would statistically be expected to succeed economically, while looking like the sort of person who would be less likely to succeed.

@Horace Where do you see the claim of being victims of oppression in either video?
In the messaging and the phenotypes. It's complicated, having to do with cultural, non verbal programming. These are advanced concepts; ones that I attempt to educate about, but am not always successful.

An educational perspective might be, to imagine if a bunch of young white males had done the video, and the cultural backlash against that. Maybe you don't think there would be a backlash, and that's ok. I am here to educate, rather than to condemn.
People are ok with venerating high status proctors of important truths, such as highly educated, intelligent doctors, until those doctors take that veneration for granted, rather than as something earned, as a continuing lifestyle of humble work.
