My college roommate was a black woman, a top student in chemistry, with a perfectly normal name (Joy Carole), but when she applied to Harvard, they treated her like she came from Zimbabwe. "Dear Third World Student, To help you determine whether the Harvard environment is consistent with your native culture, we are inviting you to a special Third World Weekend."
She was PISSED! My response was, "Look, Joy, they noticed you're from Houston!" (private joke ...) She went to UC-San Francisco, full scholarship, only out of state medical student they accepted that year.

Come on, that's a joke, no?
Yeah, the patronizing attitude of the "enlightened" left is really nauseating, isn't it? Good for her for rejecting their B.S. and choosing a school that really valued her achievements, instead of her extra pigment.
