Author and activist Ibram X. Kendi, who upholds the ideas that white privilege is rampant in American culture and systemic racism keeps minorities in states of oppression, shared an article on Twitter that revealed that "more than a third of white students lie about their race on college applications," according to a survey.
Kendi's comment, which he later deleted, read that "More than a third of White students lied about their race on college applications, and about half of these applicants lied about being Native Americans. More than three-fourths of these students who lied about their race were accepted."
Kendi has said that America is a "slaveholders" republic. And wrote a children's book about how to teach babies to be "anti-racist."
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey gave $10 million to Boston University to create the Center for Antiracist Research under Kendi's direction.
The article from The Hill found that "81 percent of students who faked minority status did so to improve their chances of getting accepted. Fifty percent of students who lied said they did it to get minority-focused financial aid."
But if white privilege is so prevalent and persuasive, why would white kids feel the need to disguise their whiteness in order to gain admittance to college and aid to help them attend? Could it be that these white students felt that as opposed to giving them an edge, their whiteness was a hindrance to admittance?

Black people in America are so free of oppression that some feel the need to fake racist incidents … because being upset by microaggressions just isn’t cutting it anymore.
Surveys indicate that a lot of southern whites have always believed they are part Indian. This goes back before there was any affirmative action.
The USA. So “racist” that the whole world is trying to get in to partake of that racism.
There are aircraft leaving every day for all other parts of the world, but people like this love to stay so they can practice their victimhood.
Ask Elizabeth warren she knows
There isn’t a single person with European ancestry who is not descended from people who lived in every country on the continent many centuries ago. The DNA mixing over thousands of years is relentless.
This means that every white person is descended from Spaniards and qualifies as Hispanic. It would never be a lie to check the Hispanic box on any form.
Nothing says Pow-Wow Chow like a true white-blooded liar from Massachusetts.
No wonder I like tacos.
“More than a third of White students lied about their race on college applications, and about half of these applicants lied about being Native Americans
Just goes to show, white folks learned how to play the racism game. But the reverse could also be true:
- how many ethnic-African or Arab-African migrants lie about being African-American in order to capitalize on programs set up to bootstrap ‘native’ AA’s?
- how many ethnic South American indigenous immigrate and lie about being American-Indian in order to capitalize on the programs set up to bootstrap ‘native’ AI’s?
- how many ethnics of any race immigrate to America and then lie about being ‘victims’ of ‘historical racism’?
“Kendi’s comment, which he later deleted”
Sorry to belabor the obvious, but Ibram X. is a very dim bulb.
Evidently he thought his post somehow put whites in a bad light. Then someone had to call Mr. X to explain to him that if it was such a privilege to be white in the U.S., why would whites hide that fact? Then, and only then, does it penetrate this guy’s skull that he was undercutting his own racist rantings.
Ibram X: you are privileged to live in the U.S. where, despite being dumber than a door nail, you can still put food on your plate.
I know a woman white and blond that always claims to be African American because her father is South African Dutch. No way to talk her out of it and never been called on the “racial appropriation” so proves to me that you can be anything you say that you are now days.
