The extropians packet said that women and underrepped minorities (with a few
rare exceptions) are less intelligent and less _motivated_ than white and asian
males (surprisingly enough, the ones who wrote the packet were a white and an
asian male).
That anyone can read their packet and not recognize the negativity (almost
hate) towards women and minorities that the pamphlet was soaked in is
ridiculous. Most people I knew, both freshmen and uperclassmen, who read it
realized what a disgusting thing that pamphlet was.

people's vile attitudes before even coming here
