I'm a black teen who was recently accepted into Oxford for Physics.

Right now I consider myself rather dandy, but not quite posh enough for oxford, there is a chance I get into Cornell where I think I would fit in better due to Americans being far less posh than we Brits.

What are the chances I develop coconut problems at oxford?

Here is the short explaination
>Black people go to cambridge and oxford sometimes
>Cambridge and Oxford are considered posh
>Black people are considered the opposite of posh
>Black people go and want to fit in
>Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and they wonder if they should just act like all the other black people
>Its called coconut problems because coconuts are white on the inside and brown on the outside
Its kinda sad and funny at the same time.

You’re going to get coconut problems at pretty much any Oxbridge/Ivy-esq school

It sucks, but it doesn't work like that. To everybody, you'll always be the black guy. Got questions about drugs? We better ask the black guy. Stuff like that.

the poshest Brit’s don’t come close to WASP’s (white anglo-Saxon Protestants: the white people with old money that aren’t Jewish and definitely used to have massive plantations in the south

USC is probably more posh than Oxbridge, they only admit black people for athletics

>> No.9477839

I always immagined these posh schools to be divided into the two classes:

>those who got in on merit, mostly so that other schools couldn't have them, to protect the reputation

>those who got in based on family name/status

I didn't go to Oxbridge but I did go to a posh school and it was like that. Couldn't you just hang out with the merit based students?
