And his excuse is pathetic. One other thing - it’s the most important. The box for “Black” or “African-American” is intended for Black American citizens - specifically designed to uplift them after decades of segregation and discrimination at the hands of Democrats. That’s the intent of those boxes being there. After several SCOTUS cases deciding on Colleges admission process the minority status is to be considered a net plus for the university. Again. He made a total mockery of the process so Columbia could get a “better sense of his personhood” or some nonsense is embarrassing. He claimed he was a Black American. 7 years before becoming a citizen. Edited July 4 by Big Blitz

I understand your point, and the purpose of the boxes on the form, but I find it funny he's getting heat from this when he's one of the few people here who is legitimately from Africa 🤣 1
Big Blitz Posted July 4 Author Posted July 4 The same people who support a system where someone gets extra admissions points based on race (bc of the idea that certain races are disadvantaged based on history) are now justifying someone who came from wealth, wasn’t limited by that history, and explicitly is not of that race, trying to game the system by claiming otherwise. They want to pretend that Mamdani is so dumb that he didn’t understand the difference between race and place of birth, which is why he had to select the racial option that would give him a major edge in admissions.

And they're ignoring the gorilla in the room; even with lying on his application and with his dad apparently a prof at Columbia, he still got rejected. Just how dumb is he, anyway? 1

I agree but the point is he berates white people for their race then lies about his own. 1
Thurmal34 Posted July 5 Posted July 5 You stooges transact in fear, anger, and division - in direct opposition to your own self interest. Unless any of you are billionaires or 500 mill CEOs?

This is going to come off very mean but I have to ask how bad is your life that you state stupidity like this? Everyone trades time for money, and the American way works wonderfully for me, perhaps you would happier in another country?

It's hardly a myth that colleges and employers have used systems of racial preference. One obvious clue is their fight against the elimination of such preferences. Another is acceptance of candidates with lower academic credentials being accepted over those with higher performance. Interestingly and perhaps unintentionally, Asians are harmed by this reverse-discrimination more than Whites. 1
