Note that he's African -- not "African American" but his parents came from Nigeria and he had a score of 2270 in his SATs, straight As

This was NOT affirmative action but positive parenting

“This was NOT affirmative action but positive parenting”

Oh please.
I heard the exact same nonsense with the last African kid who got into every single Ivy League school.

I know this is a fine young man with great Christian parents and I honestly wish him the best. That doesn’t change the fact that no white or Asian kid could ever in a million years get into every single Ivy league school, no matter how great his SAT scores, grades, volunteer projects, whatever.

The Ivy’s are desperately trying to diversify their student body without bringing in guaranteed failures. Bright well-raised African kids like this one make that possible.
