[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dovetails on Princeton claiming 70% of their freshman class are "non-white" minorities. Rich liars playing the system.[/quote]

Good way to get thrown out of school.

The shameless pathological liars never get caught or punished and they never admit they're lying. See what the Brown gal wrote:

[i]For a program initially constructed to provide resources for under-served people of color, the program consisted of a shockingly high number of wealthy, white, legacy students who presented me with the most outlandish understandings of identity I had ever heard. One boy told me that he was first-generation because his mother went to college outside of the U.S. His mother went to Oxford. Another girl told me that she was low-income because her dad makes $400,000 a year, and that’s “New York poor.” Each time another student offered ill-considered remarks on their background, I remember standing in front of them, eyebrows up and jaw dropped, thankful for the mask hiding my complete and utter disbelief. It was almost like clockwork: meet new classmate, ask about new classmate’s background, find out new classmate fails to comprehend or acknowledge their privilege, freak out, move on.[/i][/quote]
