This is the injustice and tragedy of “affirmative action”- it immediately creates suspicion of the worth of the blacks that are truly deserving in the minds of most people including blacks themselves.
This young man by all account appears to be deserving. He credits his success to the values that his parents and religion have instilled in him...in addition to having innate cerebral qualities.
Still the fact that he got showered with all the acceptance letters is an indication of affirmative action at work. A white or asian student with the same qualifications I don’t believe would have received the same reaction.

Sadly, hat is where we are — when merit is in order we can’t extract it from AA.
And I am suspicious of a black doctor or lawyer the same way:did they make it b/c they they understood? Or from a thumb on the scale?
I now get it — this kid is a victim of AA more than a beneficiary.
