Rape inquiry highlights dividing lines at Duke
Accusation feeds stereotype of spoiled white rich student

DURHAM — The case seems to fit the stereotypes so perfectly. The accused rapists are white, the wo-man is black. The men go to Duke University, the expensive private college with the championship sports teams and big TV deals. The woman studies across town at chronically underfinanced and often-overshadowed N.C. Central University. The men are lacrosse jocks, many of them recruited from tony Northern prep schools. She's a 27-year-old divorced mother of two who went to the Duke students' house to do some exotic dancing and make a little extra money.
It's so easy to see the incident at the shabby university-owned house - just a mile from the iconic Gothic Duke Chapel - in terms of powerlessness and privilege, town and gown, black and white. Many on campus and in the streets of this gritty working-class vertex of the famous Research Triangle are framing it just that way.
But not everybody is comfortable with that.
"I think along with the awfulness of the incident has come a real desire to condemn a lot of the Duke students because they are people of privilege, maybe," Durham resident Paul Montgomery said as he stood outside the Trinity Park house where the party occurred. "I just hope people kind of take into account that there is ... more than meets the eye."
