Title: Bursting your bubble
Description: Bursting Your Bubble is a critical response from a working class Italian-American townie student to the Oberlin column "Outside the Bubble," which talks about the ways people live beyond Oberlin College's student population. Bursting Your Bubble expresses that Oberlin is a classist white-privileged place where people judge those who come from poor backgrounds and label them "white trash." The critique goes into the ways in which classism, racism, and sexism intersect as well as documenting the author's own righteous anger at people who act as if they are working class without having those experiences. The zine also critiques policies made by Bill Clinton during his presidency.
