This female pretended she's black to get into Harvard. After she graduated she made a guide on 'How to get into Harvard' and slipped in
Additionally--and this is a touchy subject, but I want to be honest with you, I identified as African American on my application...


Thoughts???

So we agree that it is wrong for schools to change the rules based on race.

So it's wrong when they continue to do that.

Well, if you want to get technical, "African American" doesn't even necessarily have to mean black, does it? Isn't South Africa pretty diverse, and it's completely possible to be a white person, born in Africa, that moves to America and gains citizenship, doesn't that technically make you "African American?"

African is a nationality.

So you're saying it's ok yo lie on a college application? The answer is no it isnt. She got in under false pretenses and the college has every right to throw her out on her ass.

They've admitted to giving preference to blacks, but they use convoluted mental gymnastics to claim that they don't discriminate against whites or Asians.

5+ years ago, I would have said she was disgusting and vile for doing something like that. Today, it feels like the only way to get ahead in this world is to screw the rules., and I dont view her as a terrible person like I would have 5 years ago.

Hey Ill be honest. I paid someone to write my Comparative Literature assignments this summer. Five years ago, it would have been unthinkable for me to cheat like that. Seeing as how my major has nothing to do with Comparative Literature, and I view the school implementing bullshit gen ed requirements that have nothing to do with my major as stealing $1200 from me per class, I have no moral qualms about being dishonest in those classes.

How is it a lie? Just because her skin tone isn't darker than your coffee doesn't mean she isn't black

I wouldn't cite that movie for anything, since it devolves into lunacy with half-human, half-horse people called "Equestrisapiens".
