This seems strongly to be a case of Thomas blaming something else besides himself for his initial failures. Maybe interviewers simply were not impressed with him and gave no consideration to AA. What was Thomas’s GPA coming out of law school? Would he have even made it into Yale if not for AA?

Have you read his book? I just finished it over the weekend and Thomas never really had any “failures” in his life other then personal (divorcing his first wife, and leaving the seminary as he said he did). He greaduated somewhere in the middle of his Yale Law class. He’s been completely successful in everything he’s done in his professional life.
