Ugh. Please go back to Stormfront or whatever racist website you normally visit.

No one said it's wrong to be "white, educated, and proud," but being proud of being white is ridiculous because white people haven't had to fight to be seen or included since THEY illegally and violently started their lives in this county. Please spare us your whining about your lost privilege and about how the…
Here's why I know you're lying: schools don't tell you who got "your" spot. Your brother was competing for a spot and didn't get in. That is 100% all you know about the admissions process. You do not know that the spot went to a non-native speaker. You don't know if it went to a woman. You don't know if it went…
AA exists to level the playing field; your comment assumes that it's already level. You're wrong.
Do you even know why affirmitive action began in the first place? Not because only white men were good enough to get into college, but because people who were disadvantaged in the past were getting overlooked because they didn't have the resources to compete or because their skin color or gender was considered…
It's a load of shit. This girl just feels entitled to the moon on a stick, and fuck everyone else. I hate this 'reverse racism' argument; AA was created to fix the privilege that white people get, so it's just levelling the playinf field.
There is so much random stuff that goes into whether you get in or not that, unless the school tells you, it's irrational to point at one thing and decide that was the reason you didn't get in.
I'm not really sure what you're complaining about. You grew up poor (which does totally suck), but your family came out of it, you worked hard at school, had the time and money to be involved in extracurriculars, got good grades and test scores, then then got into your top choice colleges and got full rides. The…
regardless of your beginnings, regardless of your not attending an ivy league school, you still get instant membership in the club of whiteness, which gives you preferred access to the majority of people of power, jobs, and housing ... and you get to wander through most american cities without being stopped and…
You might have been the racial minority in your situation, but you are not a member of the American racial minority that has been dealing with institutional, lingering racism for centuries. You've still got all of the privileges that come along with being white.
Being the racial minority in your community is not like being the subject of systemic racism and oppression. I was one of the few white people in my high school, and actually very poor, not moderately poor. Still, I know the world receives me differently because I am white. Teachers treated me differently because of…
As a ginger myself, I saw the photo and was like "Dammit, Pippi!" (That's what we all call each other.) "Stop shaming the race!"
