Still, when something awful surfaces, like this Craigslist post, we wonder—as we should. More than anything else, discussing this ad will hopefully erode the communal pride that prevents us from recognizing discrimination in its many forms at Harvard, both inside and outside of final clubs.

It’s a sensation that no one on the team has felt before in his collegiate career, having a midseason winning percentage...
