i'm studying Anthro in London, and the main problem I have with it is choice of focus. We study discrimination and prejudice in India or whatever, because we're too cowardly to look at it in our own backyard.
Still i think it does give you the opportunity to look at yourself as biased, like someone else said, as well as looking at others. but after a while you start to wonder, why should i be looking at them anyway? In a sense the whole idea of studying other people is so imbedded in colonial arrogance, i think the whole idea of it is questionable.
