[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The college admission scandal is basically 9/11 for upper middle class white people. Haven’t seen them so upset by something in years. [/quote]
This has nothing to do with “upper middle class white people,” dummy. It has to do with rich, entitled assholes. [/quote]

No it has to do with UMC white peoples and Asians who have stacked the deck against the poors and are getting a taste of their own medicine.[/quote]

Eh? This is pretty stupid. UMC white people and Asians probably have the most difficult time in college admissions because they are the largest groups applying to college and don't have the special hooks or minority status.

All these people nabbed in the cheating scandal were outright rich. Very rich. You have to be rich to easily write checks for hundreds of thousands of dollars just to cheat on the SAT. You only do that if the money means nothing to you. An UMC family, even with a few million net worth, is not writing 6 figure checks to cheat on the SATs. The law firm boss was pulling in an income of 10 million a year. The Abbotts in New York with their blunt smoking son have their apartment on the market for $20 million. Felicity the actress was arrested at her $35 million dollar LA house. That's the kind of wealth we're talking about. Not upper middle class making a few hundred grand a year.

My guess is this guy targeted a specific type/profile--very rich high achievers with [b]multiple[/b] mediocre kids. [/quote]
