I'm sure you would go up to her parents and tell them that.
If you would you are a piece of shite.

I already know the answer. Arrogant fook who spends his entire life on a message board.

I only “suspiciously” have a life outside of the OT and responding to race first points of view by the likes of yourself. My response you quoted didn’t need to address your 2 or 3 examples. It addressed you deciding Stanford or Cal would be better academically over LSU only because of one poster in an OT thread.

Your post tonight changes nothing about which schools are better academically or that it’s ridiculous to base your opinion that Stanford and Cal are better only based on a poster in OT earlier in this thread.

You continue to mention a one or two graduates of LSU like it changes a schools overall academics and of course their race which you seem to care too much about when discussing whether one school is better than another academically. I also think you want to give LSU’s future greater weight just because of the race of its President. Your bigotry is showing.

LSU will never be in ballpark as Stanford or Cal academically, and my quote in your comment is still valid and thanks for including it -

If it takes a poster on OT to make you think this instead of just being an academic fact you really are ignorant or are just letting the race of new President inflate your view of academics at LSU.

I don't think you could have an international spelling bee because of the language differences. It would have to be all English speaking countries, or Spanish speaking countries, etc.

Maybe not a world championship, but the current national one isn’t really national anymore and should adjust its name a little like even just drop National from name. I think an international version was in the works at one point but didn’t materialize after trying to figure out logistics and money.

In one of the articles about this years it mentioned it was also first time in several years that an Asian wasn’t at least a co-winner. It just didn’t dawn on me at the time until reading that the actual first black was from Jamaica that it was about kids from Asian countries not Asian-Americans.

LSU should've offer her a basketball scholly.

I don't really damn about LSU/ La., but simply pointed out the open bigotry & cynicism that chases away talent like Zaila.

Right you don’t care but keep posting same thing and ignore the point i was making to make some other point.

Most including myself have the view that if she truly ends up with backing up this with high academic achievement & performance in high school (i don’t buy offering 8th graders full ride to honors college as any more than a stunt) she would be better served not going to LSU.

It’s not bigoted to point out that the LSU President’s tweet is just a stunt, is a little premature especially for the honors college part unless requirements are low as the kid still has 4 years to prove she will continue to use the brain she clearly has and perform as highly in high school (not all smart kids do as well as they could have in HS getting distracted by hormones, high school drama, & 4 years of life), and if she does excel in high school in manner similar to spelling bee that she should shoot higher than LSU for academics.

It is also not bigoted to point out that you are obviously jaded by viewing everything in terms of race first and probably can’t see how your attitude is a problem in a lot of your dealings or view of interactions between races and not the other person or anyone’s race.
