You've been snowed. And a lot of your readers have, too. In today's day and age, there is no such thing as a first-generation college student. Kids in grade 5 are told about college, things are explained. Everyone who's 13 understands that college is out there looming.Your sympathetic readers must have been around when the GI Bill came in, and first generation students were truly that. In this case, Percival has his head in the sand, or in Pete's ass, because he's simply too stupid to smell the coffee and realize his kid's bullshiting him.
And Petey, well, Petey is a misogynistic and zenophobic fucktard who is using gender and cultural stereotypes so he can crawl up on a cross.
Seriously, you people are deluding yourself with your "SYMPATHY" for this story. This page RATES STUDENTS. We knock 'em down like they're Cupie Dolls at the State Fair, and I'm annoyed that I had to write this because there was no followup that stated clearly and simply: Fuck Percival and Petey and the the horses all their gallant supporters WROTE in on.
Oh, and I went to a PAC 10 school and everyone there knew why we were going. Pussy and beer and big full bongs.
That's all I've got. Thanks for ruining my day.
