Christian Lander (@clander) at the Sydney Writers Festival. We saw this live and it was a hoot.
We also happened to be one of only a few non-white people in the audience.
Possibly the only Filipinos in the audience, too.

It is important to understand that a graduate degree does not make someone smart, so do not feel intimidated. They may have read more, but in no way does that make them smarter, more competent, or more likable than you. The best thing you can do is to act impressed when a white person talks about critical theorists. This helps them reaffirm that what they learned in graduate school was important and that they are smarter than you. This makes white people easier to deal with when you get promoted ahead of them.
