Nigerian Teen gets accepted into all IVY League Schools

[Exfactor]

I agree with a lot of what Kitten has said, as well as others, too. A lot of "he said she" said going on, without many citations to studies. But, that wouldn't matter a whole lot because one can find a study saying X while the other points to Y, you just have to love the "social sciences". Quick off-topic example: I just finished reading an academic study on peer influence at the college level in regards to political attitudes. Then I read a similarly styled academic paper saying that college has a negligible effect on one's political attitudes as an adult. WHAT?

Anyways, I think it should be pointed out that ivy schools, as private institutions, should be able to do whatever they want in regards to admissions. If a particular school decides it wants to increase the amount of underwater marble stackers within its student body, it can admit those who have underwater marble stacking experience over someone with a 4.0 GPA. That's their prerogative as a private institution. When a college or university begins to receive tax money is where I take issue.

Let me guess white privilege doesn't exist, and the laws in the 19th and 20th century which excluded blacks from their rights as Americans (seeking education etc) given 400 years of free slave labor, which eventually helped build the American economy, was nothing... LOL
