I knew a dean (sadly, now passed on) who was on the admissions committee for Harvard College. He told me they were certain some students had done exactly that -- applied and gotten into Harvard by saying they were black when they weren't.

He said the college never did anything about it, because they were afraid it would lead to more such applications.

Gee, why would they be afraid of more such applications had they rejected the original applications?

I mean, if they could reject the original applicants, then that should discourage--not encourage--future applicants.

Like I said the way to defeat this racist nonsense is for all to regard themselves as Afro-American, and let the racists prove we aren't because we don't fit their STEREOTYPING.
