It gives blacks a larger pool of 'leadership class' and accelerates more of them into the top 5% while also giving incentives to umc whites to vote to raise taxes to fund public secondary and tertiary education more since now they are more likeyl to go there.

Not the way affirmative action is being done today where professional black families are getting the benefit. I say economic affirmative action is what is needed -poverty knows no race - help every kid that needs it

Yes, affirmative action is terrible unless whites can benefit. A principled stance.

Professional black families? You mean the ones that are working their way up the past few generations of poor racial inequality from the previous generations that came from slavery. How dare they? Why should they have any benefits? Geez. Only whites from enherited riches of past generations should get benefits. Working professionals of color? They are lucky they have a job, right PP. Those poor white kids with meth parents deserve it more because they are white and poor. I mean, do you reread what you type?

Talk about being in a state of cognitive dissonance.

Yep. It cracks me up that white people think that money makes white supremacy go away. what a joke!

Me too. I have a family member in LA who works closely with the entertainment industry. I haven't discussed with them yet, but I wonder if they know anyone on the list.

I'm also wondering about the East Coast equivalents--you know there has to be a few of these here too.

PP here. I admit, there's a little bit of sick joy. I'm from West LA, but I'm a middle class kid. However, I had friends in those circles, played them in sports leagues, ran into them at parties, etc.

I worked my butt off to get into Stanford.

Funny, I have a couple friends who are federal prosecutors. They dream of a big RICO case against the mob--but this is even better.

PP. Ha, my spouse went to Stanford and played a sport while there--we've been discussing these developments today.

We also know a federal prosecutor in NY who I just told my spouse would love this!

So, this is how s--t hit the fan! The IRS started digging and dug out enough to have this guy wear a wire and sell out his entire clientele.
There will be more names coming out, stay tuned.

That article says Singer bragged about getting 800 rich kids into elite colleges. 800!!!!

And they all take the ACT. They get almost double the time and it is an easy test. The whole point of that test is that you need to be quick and efficient.

If you are giving extra time, it must be on the harder test.

My daughter goes to a top 5 private. She is a senior and estimates that 1/3 of the kids are on “accommodations.” Extra hour for every exam. Extra time for tests. No quick quizzes. HW is given one extra day. It is a complete disgrace. Ruins it for the kids that truly need it.

When kids are pulling 34-36 - pulease.

My kid got a 35 with extra time. He has had the accommodation of time and a half since 2nd grade. The last time he was tested by the psychologist was in middle school (7th or 8th grade) and he had his ACT accommodations in 11th grade was based on that testing and diagnosis (ADHD and slow processing). He was tested again in 12th grade and it turns out he still has ADHD, but his processing speed has improved significantly from 8th grade. I guess it must have been that way when he took his ACT. That is great news and we are thrilled about his improvement. And for all the hardship he had to endure those years, he got the bonus a great score. And based on his new testing, he would not qualify for the extra time, which he obviously no longer needs.

It's interesting to me how very ANGRY some of you are about this, you'd think your stupid kids were somehow prevented from getting a spot in these schools, which, we know isn't the case. Use this same energy to lobby to fix the public schools wherever you live.

Imagine being Hollywood money and having the moment when you realize you don't have enough money to buy anything you want and there are people who don't care that you're a celebrity. That's why this guy exists. That's why Lauren Sanchez went after Jeff Bezos.

Lori, why don't you use this same energy to shut up your "You-tuber" daughter, she sounds like a moron.

Don't even have any. I'm angry on behalf of myself - that I took upteen test prep courses, read SAT books morning and night, did 5 AP Courses, was a National Merit Finalist, saved money to study abroad and volunteer - and got into my dream school.

But this LOSER, who didn't even want to attend college, arrived in with barely a lift of her finger thanks to mommy. A mom who would probably smile in my face and said her daughter studied so hard and they were super proud of her accomplishments (as Lori Loughlin did on the Today Show just last year) while knowing full well she was lying through her teeth. It pisses me off because I feel betrayed and I don't even know this witch.

You clearly have anger and jealousy issues.

PP here. Sorry the truth hurts.

White female National Merit Scholar from a lower middle class family (a really one, not DCUM "LMC") here. You just keep telling yourself what you need to to make yourself feel better.

PP here. I don’t care about your alleged stats or your opinion. Clearly, you’re upset. Good. Stay mad.

Ha! Like you’re not “mad.”

I wonder if this will be the pin that pricks the whole "elite college" bubble, which is so fraught with corruption and overpricing $$$ as well.

Lori definitely had no idea what was coming down the pipe.

Lori Loughlin deserves everything she gets just for raising this entitled, spoiled BRAT and pushing her out in to society.

+1 gazillion.
This is the first time I've seen this girl, but boy, if my daughter grew up like that, I'd jump out of the window.

I'm 100% sure no one on this thread has any idea how much $$ she makes every week. 1.9 million subscribers to her youtube channel, 1.3 million to her instagram, almost 200,000 for her twitter feed. Then she sells stuff and gets influencer payments. 30k a month or more no doubt. She'll have more subscribers now. Welcome to the future!

why do california kids speak like this? california is such a messed up place.

She actually seems reasonably smart and well spoken.

Funny, I was thinking she seems vacuous and utterly narcissistic. But that's true of many in her generation unfortunately, thanks for social media.

LOL This is the girl with a 1032 on her SAT. She's an idiot. And mom paid for all her content marketing and subscribers just like she paid someone else to take her admissions test for her.

DP: are you on meth?

No, I am a while woman that is not a racist. I am a white woman who is going to do everything in my lifetime to make any minority try and feel welcomed and equal in my presence and call out people that don’t do the same. I am a white woman who knows I have privilege in this world JUST because I was born white. Is it my fault I am white? No. Are minorities upset that I am white? No. Is it my duty to understand that being white comes with privilege that others do not have yet, even in 2019? Yes. Are minorities upset that white people don’t understand their own privilege? Yes. Are minorities upset that they feel left alone to battle for their rights and never understood by most whites who claim they are not racist? Yes.

It is not enough to just not be racist anymore. It is 2019 people. We need to do more. Just like people of wealth are supposed to help the poor, but really don’t want to. “I enherited or earned that money!” So They usually pay more wealthy lawyers and accountants to rig it so they don’t pay much taxes. Most white people dont want to fight for equality and justice, because they already have it and try to rationalize that black people have it now too. They don’t and it can’t just be them fighting for themselves. They need allies. People that are cognitively aware. Are white people nervous when their son is walking on a street or driving a car? Probably not. But every single black mother is. “Professional or not” Could you imagine that fear? I honestly can not. But I try. I try to understand. That is all most black people are asking. I mean like that is it. It isn’t much, but yet most white people can not do it. It is really sad once you “wake up.”

And for you entitled whites here screaming about “affirmative action is not fair” are just ignorant. So ignorant. I am not racist but.... NO, you ARE. You are somehow turning it around that it is not fair for you. YOU. Instead of thinking this is the least we can do and even (gasp) How can I do more?

So sorry, not on meth. Just trying to be a nice educated person who wants to use her privilege as a positive to help others. And if it means going on a rant here instead of watching This Is Us - and going all off topic, so be it. It just really bothers me that there are people out there that have somehow turned this entitled, white, rich ILLEGAL issue into a minority LEGAL issue. Only in America, sadly.

Be angry the mom, sure. But spare the kid. Even though she is entitled, just imagine what a mind-f*** it must be to figure out your parents didn’t have enough confidence in you that they would resort to this type of behavior. I remember my dad telling me once that they weren’t wealthy enough to mess me up - I guess he was right.
