Without looking at his picture, does one know what ethnicity he is of? ( OK, It doesn’t and should not matter, but just take a guess ).
Ain’t being a minority great?
as long as the check clears, they will welcome a blind groundhog. They all get indoctrinated the same in any case.
I mean he’s the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.
No wait, I’m thinking of someone else.

How can you argue with that?
I also find that many Nigerian immigrants are as diligent and serious about getting ahead in school as are the Chinese or Koreans. Of course it also makes the Ivy's happy they can fill their self-imposed quota of black faces.
If your SAT’s are off the charts, if your father is a bisexual Nigerian Buddhist here illegally and your mother is a transsexual black Latino from Pakistan, if your family income is 7 figures, if you yourself have 6 different gender selections and are any religion except Christian, then your chances are good.
Very good.
Good for him. Hope the brothers don’t hassle him for “acting white”.
I have a Nephew who is probably the smartest person I have ever personally known. I don’t know what his SAT score was but throughout his life he has scored either perfect or near perfect scores on achievement tests.
He attended North Carolina on a scholastic scholarship and graduated either top or near the top of his class at Vanderbilt Law School.
Sure enough he has been extremely successful in life.
He was turned down by all the Ivy League schools.
Long Island huh? Atlanta Georgia is known to produce some of the highest testing Afican American students in the country as well.
I have an idea...We GLADLY take him, and trade him for 100,000 US black males. Maybe the time in Africa will do them good like it did our Ivy League bound friend...
He never learned how wear his pants down below his butt or dress in gang colors. Good for him.
He’s leaning towards Yale, but my advice to him is, “Where is the best pre-med program?”
If I was confidant about being accepted (with 2270 SAT), I would apply to the one college that I wished to attend.
This is a wonderful story, and ought to be the posterboard for what immigration to this country used to represent. A family who played by the rules and came here legally, and instilled in their son the values of hard work and honest ambition to take advantage of the opportunities this wonderful country offers.
Congrats to this young man.

Ekeh was born in Nigeria and came to the United States when he was eight. He wrote his main college essay about the struggle to adjust, including being clueless in U.S. history classes at school. He said he would ask his parents repeatedly why they moved.

I don’t think either of these girls are their offspring. Especially Sasha.. WHERE ARE HER REAL PARENTS?
Ivy league schools can get you a good job but seeing the kinds of grads they’re spewing out nowadays I would stay well clear of them unless you want your kid walking around praising commies, loving terrorists and bashing “the great Satan” USA.
Elated, his mother Roseline, who now works for a human resources agency in Queens, posted on Facebook: 'All glory to the most high God!!!' His father Paul Ekeh, who works in the NYPD's traffic division, spoke to DailyMail.com to describe the moment he found out. 'It was like a thunderbolt,' he said. 'I didn't doubt that he could achieve good things but it was the sweep that made it so different. I don't know how to say how I feel. It's amazing.'

It must be because of white privilege.
