I am so sick of this type of comment everytime anything good happens to a black person.  Most ivy league schools have only 5% balck students -- foreign or domestic.  Do you really think none of them are qualified? They are not taking the place of your special white kid.  Get over it.   For these schools about 30 percent are legacies, white athletes in white sports like lacrosse and rowing, and worse "development cases" like Jared Kushner, i.e. mega rich kids whose parents are not alumni but pledge millions. Its a measure of how racist our society is that people feel free to say this young woman is not qualified, but nothing is said about huge number of "less qualified" white people admitted.  It's sickening.

signed -- grandmother of black ivy student with high grades, 34 ACT, and amazing ECs that most white kids can't come near -- including international recognition.

And don't tell me that its becusae of affirmative action that people will think he's not qualified to be where he is... its not affirmative action,  Its racism pure and simple.[/quote]
