[quote=Anonymous]I assume he is qualified. Lightning doesn't strike five or six times without a reason. I'm surprised no one wants to acknowledge the obvious subtext, which is that success stories like this still get written up because the assumption is that, statistically, the odds are stacked against a black child of a single parent attending an urban high school. When they aren't, stories like this won't get written. The intent was not to launch a debate about whether this kid received preferential treatment based on his race, which is something no one here could really know without access to a heck of a lot more information. My bet is he'll go to Harvard, and do just fine. [/quote]
