Admission was not the race-based problem: the skin color of good grade-earners was the problem. <br /><br />After the first report card (she earned 4.0+), they changed her race Black Afro-American. When she noticed she went to admin and asked them to correct it. The response was "What does it matter?" <br /><br />For the remainder of her 4.0+ Harris-Stowe State University experience, she fought to have her race correctly identified as "Caucasian." She would be a listed-Caucasian for a few months, then, when grades came out, she was magically transformed into Black Afro-American. <br /><br />She realized that race-based GPA statistics must be very important to someone: important enough to willfully change her listed race from white to black. <br /><br />Sadly, this was but one of many race scams at HSSU.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-85323727184283748472010-05-22T07:09:21.689-07:002010-05-22T07:09:21.689-07:00@bamagirl

After all, there are many white "hispanics" who are lighter than me who take advantage of all these scholarships and goodies. In fact, I'd even estimate the white "hispanics" are taking advantage of these opportunities far more often than the ones of mestizo/indigenous ancestry. A girl I went to high school won a "hispanic heritage" scholarship to my university that gives her free tuition. Of course, she has light brown hair and green eyes.

In the voice of fantastic vitriol I shouted repeatedly that those who believed in a Jewish mafia that helped the tribe (rather than their nephew, which of course takes place in any normal human family) and which aided in accounting for the high percentage of prominent Jewish scientists, writers, political leaders and businessmen were godd*amn antisemites impervious to reason and uninterested in the facts.<br /><br />Well here we have a whole thread dedicated exclusively to the subject of being assisted in college accewptance and jobs by claiming to be something you're not and NOBODY mentions claiming you're Jewish?! Why the hell not? In fact it carries no threat at all being as the American definition of a Jew is literally anyone who says he is.

We're discussing whether claiming to be Jewish in your essay to admissions is likely to assist you or not.
