[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated a  few years ago. My name is actually Italian but a lot of people think it is Hispanic.  I checked Hispanic on the application.  No one ever "investigated" me.   [/quote]

So you lied to get a perceived advantage because you weren't confident of your own record and ability to make a strong case for your fit to major?

So how were your JHU grades?

I hope you're not my doctor or personal wealth advisor or not even real at all (under-bridge-dweller).[/quote]

But you're ok with a personal wealth adviser who did need to play the card because otherwise they wouldn't have had a shot? What's the difference? It's not a perceived advantage if it works.[/quote]

My point is that if you are real and actually checked a box as a lie then you would be a thin-skinned, sleazy person who only looks out for himself.  I wouldn't trust you not to churn my portfolio or steal from me as an investment advisor.  And I would question whether you would overrecommend procedures and bill fairly as a doctor.  If you are real, I've met people like you and I don't want you handling my business.  I'll take it to someone ethical and trustworthy who outcompeted you without compromising.  Risk factors in even without emotions.  Liars are high-risk people to be around.  That's why society judges them harshly when exposed.  [/quote]

This poster doth protest too much.  Probably a recipient of extra points and financial aid due to skin color. Now everyone questions as to why she/he  got into school at all.  Maybe questions her kids, too.[/quote]

Actually all white at this HH, thanks for your concern.  Biracial family members (Asian) who married in.  Concerned about the hate and questioning I see directed at my extended family, the younger generation of which has not reached college app age yet and are not URM. My sister has had ethnic slurs directed at her just for being brunette when she's actually white.

What are you doing to make America a better place?[/quote]
