Yep! My daughter's high school had a Nigerian-background boy (parents were doctors who emigrated years before). He was among top 5 or 10 in the class. Excellent grades and SAT. Funny thing was, he was the preppiest dresser in the whole school - cardigans, boat shoes, seersucker suits, etc... Was admitted to all 5 Ivy colleges he applied too and others. They were tripping over themselves to get him.
America rewards performance.
That’s how it should be.
Quotas, protected classes, speech codes are all un-American.
Meritocracy!
