As for Michelle Obama's thesis, I never read it but I was at Princeton when she was and I agree that everyone I knew brought something impressive to the table, regardless of their race or background. The exceptions were two white guys I knew who were alcoholics and just couldn't keep up. They both had to take leaves of absence. Michelle Obama did not just come from an URM, she came from an inner city school. I had a roommate like that and she certainly did struggle. But she made it, went to medical school and is now back home, practicing medicine, and serving the community from which she came. I'm much happier about the place she took in my class than the places taken by folks who went on to Wall Street jobs,[/quote]

Unless you bother to read the thesis, and judge for yourself whether it's written in anything approaching college-level English, your comments are irrelevant in a thread about whether other minorities, not drunk white boys, are being unfairly treated in the admissions process. [/quote]
Not the PP you're responding to, but you're full of it.  What s/he stated was completely relevant to whether URMs in Ivies are underqualified.  Just because it wasn't about the  one example you want to focus on, doesn't mean it isn't relevant.  And I did read the thesis, and it's fine.  It's not spectacular, but it's not the worst one you're going to find at an Ivy, even among your supposedly superior Asians.[/quote]
