The money quote:

You want me to pull myself up by my bootstraps but take my boots away and then say it is my fault that I’m barefoot.

“They’re blowing this whole thing out of proportion,” said Malcolm Abbott outside the home that overlooks the Metropolitan Museum of Art. “I believe everyone has a right to go to college, man.”

God rest her sweet soul.

I have a couple ideas:

USC is not a state school and it has a 17% admittance rate.

What I don’t understand is, if this girl so clearly hasn’t a shred of interest in actually getting an education at USC, why did her parents resort to what amounts to a felony to get her in there? Lack of a college education hasn’t hurt the K-J clan financially. 

Those cheek highlights are not great advertising for her palette.

One thing I’m really interested in (assuming we all last that long) is what do these “influencers” look like in 5 or 10 years? I already can’t believe that people give a shit what type of makeup Aunt Becky’s teenage daughter wears, but one she ages out of the slightly older sister demo, who is going to listen to her?…

Who's Loughlin now?

but... I was told there was no racism in Brazil.

This is how it’s done with the wealthy. Their kids do not get in by their own merit. Usually it’s via large school donations or ostensible scholarships/grants/charity and pulling connections. I’m surprised they used a company to grease wheels. I know people whose parents donated a lump sum $1 million dollars and…

Mossimo was also charged. It’s likely that they didn’t have enough evidence that Macy was involved in the crime as they did about Huffman. Based on the charging documents he clearly was aware of what was going on, as he was on a call with Huffman and the ringleader of the scheme describing the process, but it seems…

You presume that they consider it an achievement and not an entitlement.

It's the expectation of the spoiled brat.

imagine spending a half a million dollars on bribes so your kid could take instagram pictures 

This is the nouveau riche version of notorious “legacy admissions” that the dimwitted offspring of wealthy families have depended upon forever (see Bush, George W., Trump, Allof’em, and Kushner, Jared). Spoiled brats and the parents who spoil them. I never want to hear another word about Affirmative Action for…

This development warms the cockles of my first-generation college student heart.

I’m shocked. You mean rich, white kids don’t earn their spots into Ivy League schools? I thought they were supposed to be filled with the best and brightest who pulled themselves up by their boot straps. Those schools aren’t bastions of meritocracy? Lol I love how people complain about affirmative action but don’t say…
