Well, if you walk around campus with a chip on your shoulder the size of Rhode Island, nobody is going to want to associate with you, even the black students trying to fit in.
AMEN.
Malia - Harvard University
Sasha - University of Michigan
She has always had a yen for yams, but that’s not the photo I’m thinking of.
In the turnip photo, she gave it a light kiss.
Didn't her state take away her Law License??
Crybaby? This woman grew up in a privileged household. Her only imagined slight is her skin color. Pathetic, just like her communist husband. (who is half white)
It sounded like a fart.
More than likely, her life has been a “jiggle”. I doubt she grew up “a poor black child.” She has a college degree, she was FLOTUS for eight years, she’s a millionaire and never had a real job in her life, honkies kiss her *** and now down to her everywhere she goes, she lives in mansions. Yeah. “Struggle”. Africans have it tough in America. SARC/
The reality of this Supreme Court decision is that the undergrad programs at the Ivy league schools are going to become about 90% Asians. The other 10% will be the rich children whose parents also attended those Ivy league schools. Some of them may also be Asian.
I am not saying this is good or bad, just that is the reality.
This was the statement from the Chancellor of Harvard when he testified in the trial where the Asian girl sued which led to this eventual SC decision. He stated that the decision to admit applicants into Harvard was based on multiple criteria. The number one reason was IF he decided to select a student personally. These are typically children of rich parents who personally have an in with the Chancellor. They may also make a gift to the endowment fund. The next major criteria was IF your parents/grandparents had gone to Harvard. The next is the Affirmative Action applicants. The last are the students that get in on merit.
The ones who get in on merit alone is a huge group to chose from. There are only 1200 or so Freshmen spots available.
There are a lot of Valedictorians in the US/world. This is the group going forward that Asian children will dominate.
This is because they have a much better work ethic towards education than the typical White Anglo Saxon American student.
My son graduated in the top twenty in his high school class.
He is white. He had absolutely no chance of getting into Harvard as a freshman. Even though he had straight As in high school. So, it was either WPI or UNH for him. When he applied for a Doctorate PHD program in Biotechnology he still was denied at Harvard & MIT. Even though he had a 4.0 GPA at UNH. He was accepted to Ga Tech and UVM. He went into industry instead. Now, after working in Pharma for three years he is pursuing a Masters from UMass.
So, over the last ten years I have been a direct observer to the whole college entrance process with a highly motivate student at the top of his classes. The two things that were against him from the start were MALE and CAUCASIAN.
She probably really believes that she, a poor black child, got into Princeton on merit and it had nothing to do with her older brother and affirmative action.
That's today's world, unfortunately.
I am sure The Wookie’s life was indeed affected by affirmative action. She would not have been able to get anywhere by her own merit.
“. . . this privileged woman writes about herself rather than point to people who really are disadvantaged?”
It is the behavior of one who cares more for her self, rather than the ‘disadvantaged’ whoever.
The best resolution to college qualifications is to boost the general education level to the point that EVERY HS grad who is interested in advancing their education has the academic background to qualify. Some school systems, in Dem controlled states, have openly downgraded their grading system to allow otherwise failing students to have ‘good looking’ grades.
Ah, I see what you did there
