and once you get into one of these "elite" schools almost every body gets at least a B in everything

I haven't seen a source mentioning his test scores. His resume if full of activism, such as working on presidential campaigns, etc. Heck, he even says that he undertook 'unapologetic activism.' There are lots of kids out there who participate in political campaigns of one kind or another. But, as one of the twitter commenters said, do you think that if he had written 'America First' 100 times it would have had the same result, all other things being equal?!?! I'm not a betting person, but I'm willing to bet the answer is no.

So is every Muslim student in college there because of a quota? Is that your point?
I get being mad at the essay response or lack thereof but you are taking a lot of liberties with the profile thing on this one, IMO. But that was obvious from your characterization of him as black.

And as corporatetiger pointed out, he was accepted into two Ivy League schools without that stupid essay. It seems like a kid just trolling the system, pushing and testing its limits.

But by all means, let's be outraged about some unproveable hypothetical. I'M SO UPSET!!!!!

Plot twist: kid isn't going to Stanford. He got bored on his 1100th application and instead of bothering to answer a question, he just copy/pasted "Black lives matter."
That's my #hottake.
That's my #hottake.

But but but he's black and Muslim? What's that? He's not black. Well, he's not white. They took our jorbs!!!

So you don't actually know if he deserved a spot on the numbers or not and jumped to a conclusion.
Sure his resume is filled with activism that I generally disagree with, but that is still more than 99% of 18 year olds.
Lastly, his family is rich. He was getting no matter what, stop freaking out about it.

Here's hoping he's everything Stanford wants.

This is the worst part. Seems he wasn't really serious about going to Stanford and just wanted to see what would happen if he did something completely insane.
Maybe the school may have thought they would have received a lot of hate and bad press from the media and SJWs for denying an application that said BLM 100xs? I don't know.

You seem to value being an arbiter of something or another a lot. Why is that?

Ever try applying for exxon? Whitey practically needs a masters and the other race needs a GED. 50/50 split down the middle. As long as these sorts of programs are forced by government, this countries racial issues will never diminish.

Because that's what we do on a message board? I'm not the one saying the kid isn't qualified, so the ultimate arbiter in this page is the OP. Why aren't you questioning her? Why is that?

Heard Thomas Sowell say that he had "given up" on Academia. It will take a virtual civil war and revolution for the Globalist Authoritarian Socialists to be removed from power. Their delusion leads to virtual suicide.
And the ultimate irony of this scenario is that once the 'revolution' - hurtful on a large scale; already is - is over...it is highly likely that not long after that...rational people will form Global alliances that result in a form of World *Government*.
Government is a mere reflection of the People; even though the Elitist (now clinging to power) attempt to manipulate the People...such amounts to herding cats. Cats that are pissed off. Until the essential VISION of the People changes...government needs be Authoritarian, in trying to put down rebellious - for manifold Ideological and Cultural reasons - Groups. And that is where we are now.
Humanity. Moving up. 2017. God only knows how many times this has been witnessed. Process. Evolution. Realization (acquisition of Knowledge/Power), resulting in Heaven...or Hell. Everything is subjective in the end. IMO.
What a show!

Dude. Read through the thread.

Why should I question someone about a story I don't find interesting? I'm not obsessed enough I suppose.

Mad white lady assumes Stanford accepts unqualified muzzie simply because he wrote BLM on his application. Rages on poli board.

We have all seen from our personal experiences how Affirmative Action programs can sometimes place people in circumstances for which they are not well-suited.
