I have a communist minded colleague who hates the US (even though he is black and been to the US for a long time) and he carries his anti US rants wherever he goes.
I am not suggesting any racial bias here towards any one and if Mods find my comment NOT PROPER, please feel free to delete it.
But he claims that the American society is an anti-intellectual one and he denies the fact that the most hardline socialist, communist, leftists, liberals and other hippies have found the US a very good place to live and preach.
Just by looking at the number of commie/left wing thinkers living in the US, it is not possible that the USA is an anti-intellectual society.
My colleague says the way the US society tries to reject EVOLUTION and brings up a phoney thing like the Intelligent Design is the proof of it.
I am not buying what he says and I still stand on my point about the fact that radical leftists (like Edward Said, Jacques Derida, Ward Churchil...etc) enjoyed living in such a free and democratic society.
So my question to the forum members is Do you think the US society is a populist, anti intellectual society?
