quote:

Stanford University admitted a Muslim teenager who wrote the phrase “#BlackLivesMatter” 100 times in his application essay. Ziad Ahmed, a senior at the Princeton Day School in Princeton, New Jersey, said he was surprised the prestigious Palo Alto university let him in. “I didn’t think I would get admitted to Stanford at all, but it’s quite refreshing to see that they view my unapologetic activism as an asset rather than a liability,” the high schooler told Mic. The essay prompt was “What matters to you, and why?”

Dude doesn't even know his colors and they let him into Stanford? He's clearly brown and not black

Too much work. Just identify as transgender and say "frick Cishet Shitlords" and you will get a full ride.

the dumbest kid I went to high school with got into Stanford

I went to boarding school so it's not like he was a retard or anything...he also got in because his father went there and gave them a shite load of money. his transcript wasn't something you're going to want to put on the fridge

Congrats on supporting a terrible organization, Stanford. Everyone matters. Congrats, society...you continue to make this country less progressive.

I would have enjoyed going to Stanford for all the Asian nookie until I flunked out.

I'm guessing this dude isn't a 2.5 student. Of course, if the essay part is a significant component of the application it's kinda bullshite, but he figured it out. And, we're assuming he actually believes that. He may have just been gaming the system.
