Are you jealous because no one is fighting over your kid?[/quote]

Exactly![/quote]
No, I am jealous because my kid isn't black. Therefore, she applied to not a single Ivy, despite having higher SATs than this kid, plus other stuff that wouldn't matter, because she's white. Why bother applying?[/quote]

Great parenting job mom/dad! :roll:    While you’re poisoning your daughter’s mind by teaching her to see her “whiteness” as a handicap, please make sure she also knows that she lost out to white legacies, and other similarly situated whites with better extracurriculars and geographic diversity.

Unlike your daughter, this kid had to overcome negative racial stereotyping, low expectations from teachers (not every teacher, but trust me, there was at least one), stereotype threat, etc.  However, unlike you, he did not cast himself as the victim.  Because of what he had to deal with (“the soft bigotry of low expectations” from many people like you), he is actually more qualified for admission to those universities than white students with similar numbers.  Your daughter may not have been admitted to any Ivy League school…if she had applied, but not because she’s white.

You sound like an unhappy and bitter person.  I hope that you find peace.
