i would almost guarantee he had lesser an application then the average any other race student. being black really is easier then being white. a shame the bulk of them dont take advantage of it lol.
I'm seriously wondering why they don't get rid of things like Affirmative Action. As long as it exists, people will still insist that just because someone is black, that they aren't smarter than them.
If a black guy had a 4.8 GPA weighted and spectacular test scores with stellar essays got accepted, people would still blame it on him being black. (In a situation where random people only know that the person who was accepted was black and nothing else about the person.)
There isn't a doubt in their mind that even though he's black, he might be smarter than them.
If my story wasn't clear, then here:
"Hey, a black guy got accepted into Harvard!"
"Oh cool, it was probably because he was black though, I have a 4.3 GPA and great test scores." <- Making assumptions without knowing the person.
