[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It kind of cements the idea that JD Vance was likely a DEI admit to Yale.  [/quote]

For sure. And, boy, didn't he make the most of it!

lol…he really did.  He’s such a hypocrite.  [/quote]

Actually, it sounds like you might be. You'd be fine if he were a person of color who received that Yale Law admission and used it to attain the 2nd highest elected post in the land. However, you're a little salty since he's a chubby, white guy from Appalachia who did it. Maybe you should look in the mirror and ask yourself what you're *really* angry about after all. [/quote]

+ a million
So much this.  [/quote]

DP but I’m salty over this because he destroyed DEI and works for an administration that went after it with gusto as if it were a threat to society.  So he benefits from it but takes it away from “others” not realizing HE benefited as well.

It’s a a lack of self-awareness and an excess of ego.  He thinks he “earned” that spot. But he thinks someone who was black was “given” it.  Clueless and cruel.[/quote]

For a long time, when it came down to a student of color or a white student, with the exact same credentials, the student of color would gain admission. He's just trying to make it even for everyone, regardless of race. [/quote]

I guarantee you that a white boy from McLean or Bethesda or New York was rejected from Yale with the same or better stats and resume as JD Vance.  [/quote]

Sure, but you're missing the whole point of the post. We're talking about rural, disadvantaged kids of all races - not your brother who graduated from Georgetown Prep in 1985 with a goal to major in marketing and boobs at whatever Ivy school would take him. [/quote]

No, you didn’t read the comment I responded to. That person assumed a black person  wasn’t as qualified as the white people but got preference. Not true.  My point is that Vance was that person- but it was geography that helped him beat out the otherwise similar white boys from rich cities.

Conservatives utter lack of self-awareness is fascinating.  Your inability to see how racial diversity and geographic diversity are the SAME thing exposes either your inability to think, or your racism. Probably both.
