[quote=Anonymous][quote]Laughable that people think she got in because standards were lowered due to her race! How's this for a rigged system?

A family in upper Northwest has three sons. Family name reflects deep roots in the Washington establishment (there's a building named for a recent forebear on Mass Ave). Classic white UMC family. Harvard legacy. All three sons were admitted to, and attended, Harvard.

People *never* get so up in arms over a story like this as they do over a hard working girl, daughter of immigrants, getting into the Ivies. Methinks there's residual racism - and dare I say jealousy - at work here.[/quote]

Just as laughable as Americans worshiping Trump and Romney.  They think these men are so brilliant and financially savvy because they inherited millions of dollars, bankrupted many businesses, and still live in the big house on the Hill.  Their sole contribution (?) to humanity has the country salivating over their financial genius and success...too ashamed to even reveal their tax returns as have their rivals.
