Why I Decided to Become an Elitist

[gamesmart]

snip

The only negative connotations I see in your text are the examples in which the word is used in. I see no sign that elitism is bad in the core definitions themselves - we as people associate it with a negative connotation because we've been influenced to think that way (elite = bad and everyone should be equal and all that).

Dictionary authors aren't unbiased.

EDIT: Yes, I'm aware of the connotation. Yes, it's often how I look at the word too. But try to think outside of your own beliefs, from a different perspective. Even if you don't like that perspective, you won't understand it unless you try.
