One thing I really don't like about some "educated" people is that they have overconfidence. They are poor listeners, unnecessarily and readily disagree with others for the sake of showing their "superiority" and confidently say something that may not be true. I avoid talking with them seriously because there's no point. I guess that's the downside of "education".
I know what you mean. Sometimes, kids and young adults who graduated from a reputed school (more like expensive!) or who studied from the usual capital or especially ignorant types of half-filipinos who grew up in a more developed country are usually like that. Especially towards rural dwellers, public school students, and much so especially towards non-English speakers.
I've seen them (A LOT in my childhood), I encountered them, I had beaten some of them in their own 'game'. And I wanna smack them on the face on a broad daylight.
I could say the same with some certain pinoys who calls themselves "free-thinkers" in the internet. I wish they'll just stop making the real ones look bad because they believe that they're "educated".
