Student fakes being black to get into college - YouTube

>>> WHEN IT COMES TO COLLEGE
[5]
ADMISSIONS HOW MUCH OF A ROLE
[6]
SHOULD RACE PLAY?
[7]
THAT QUESTION BACK IT'S IN NEWS
[9]
THIS WEEK.
[9]
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HARVARD
[11]
UNIVERSITY'S HISTORY, THE
[13]
MAJORITY OF STUDENTS ACCEPTED
[14]
INTO THE INCOMING FRESHMAN CLASS
[18]
IDENTIFY AS NONWHITE.
[20]
58.8% TO BE PRECISE.
[21]
BUT AT THE SAME TIME CAME NEWS
[23]
THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
[24]
IS INVESTIGATING ALLEGATIONS THE
[26]
SCHOOL IS DENYING PLACES TO
[28]
QUALIFIED ASIAN-AMERICAN
[29]
STUDENTS.
[32]
NOW, THE HEAD OF ADMISSIONS
[35]
CONSULTANT AT INTERVIEW S.O.S.
[38]
HAS AN UNIQUE EXPERIENCE WITH
[39]
THIS TOPIC.
[40]
AN INDIAN AMERICAN, HE REALIZED
[43]
THE ONLY WAY HE WOULD BE
[44]
ACCEPTED AT MED SCHOOL WOULD BE
[46]
TO PASS AS BLACK.
[47]
HE CHRONICLED HIS EXPERIENCE IN
[49]
HIS BOOK "ALMOST BLACK.
[51]
THE TRUE STORY OF HOW I GOT INTO
[53]
MEDICAL SCHOOL BY PRETENDING TO
[55]
BE BLACK."
[56]
HE JOINS ME NOW.
[57]
SO, YOU WERE STUDYING STATISTICS
[59]
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO,
[60]
AND YOU SAY TO YOURSELF, I DON'T
[64]
STAND A CHANCE WITH MY 3.2, WHAT
[66]
DID YOU DO?
[67]
>> WELL, I SHAVED MY HEAD, I
[69]
TRIMMED MY EYELASHES AND I
[71]
DECIDED TO JOIN THE ORGANIZATION
[72]
OF BLACK STUDENTS SO I COULD
[74]
APPLY TO THE MEDICAL SCHOOL AS A
[75]
BLACK MAN.
[76]
I ALSO USED MY MIDDLE NAME JOJO.
[80]
I SUBSEQUENTLY INTERVIEWED AT
[83]
SCHOOLS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND
[85]
MANAGED TO GET WAIT-LISTED AT
[86]
THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON AND
[87]
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA, THEN
[89]
RANKED THE THIRD AND FOURTH BEST
[90]
MEDICAL SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTRY
[92]
AND GOT INTO ST. LOUIS SCHOOL OF
[93]
MEDICINE DESPITE THE FACT THAT
[95]
MY PITIFUL 3.1 GPA WAS
[100]
DRAMATICALLY LOWER THAN THEIR
[101]
AVERAGE OF 3.7.
[103]
NOW, I WANTED TO MENTION A
[104]
STATISTIC YOU MENTIONED EARLIER
[105]
IN THE PROGRAM WHICH IS THE
[107]
MAJORITY OF HARVARD IS NOW A
[109]
MINORITY.
[109]
AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S TRUE.
[111]
I THINK THAT'S VERY DECEPTIVE
[112]
BECAUSE I THINK YOU'RE
[113]
FORGETTING ABOUT THE P POCAHONT
[122]
FACTOR.
[122]
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHITER THAN
[124]
WINTER IN ALASKA, BASED ON
[127]
FLIMSY REASONS, AS A RESULT, IT
[129]
SKEWS THE STATISTICS BECAUSE
[131]
THEY KNOW IT CAN IMPROVE THEIR
[132]
CHANCE OF ADMISSIONS.
[134]
SO SELF-REPORTING ON MINORITY, I
[137]
DON'T THINK THAT'S NECESSARILY
[138]
THE BEST DATA TO USE.
[140]
>> SO, VIJAY, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
[143]
YOU DIDN'T JUST CHECK A BOX.
[146]
YOU WENT FULL-ON TOOTSIE.
[150]
>> YEAH.
[150]
>> AND THERE MAY BE OTHERS WHO
[152]
MAY NOT PER SONIFY A GROUP?
[163]
>> I HAVE SO MANY, THEY'RE GREAT
[166]
GREAT GRANDMOTHER WAS HIPPS, FOR
[168]
FLIMSY REASONS THEY CALL
[170]
THEMSELVES MINORITY BECAUSE THEY
[171]
KNOW IT'S GOING TO IMPROVE THEIR
[172]
CHANCE FOR ADMISSIONS.
[173]
WE CANNOT IGNORE THE POCAHONTAS
[176]
FACTOR WHEN WE LOOK AT THE
[177]
STATISTIC, THAT 51% OF PEOPLE AT
[179]
HARVARD ARE SAYING --
[180]
>> WELL, LISTEN, BECAUSE YOU ARE
[183]
USING THE NICKNAME, LET'S GO
[185]
THERE.
[185]
YOU SAID THAT WHAT LINCOLN DID
[189]
VIS-A-VIS SLAVERY, TRUMP WILL DO
[192]
VIS-A-VIS AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.
[193]
EXPLAIN.
[194]
>> I BELIEVE THAT PRESIDENT
[195]
TRUMP, BY APPOINTING
[197]
CONSERVATIVE ANTI-AFFIRMATIVE
[200]
ACTION JUSTICES AND BY USING THE
[204]
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TO GO AFTER
[205]
THE COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, I
[207]
BELIEVE HE WILL END AFFIRMATIVE
[209]
ACTION LIKE LINCOLN ENDED
[210]
SLAVERY.
[210]
AS YOU KNOW, BOB JONES
[212]
UNIVERSITY, MANY YEARS AGO, LOST
[215]
ITS NONPROFIT STATUS BECAUSE OF
[217]
ITS RACIST POLICIES.
[218]
SIMILARLY, WHEN IT COMES TO THE
[219]
ISSUE OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, THE
[221]
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES HAVE
[224]
PLEADED GUILTY AS CHARGED.
[226]
THEY PUBLICLY ENDORSED RACIAL
[228]
DISCRIMINATION IN THE FORM OF
[229]
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IN THE FISHER
[232]
CASE.
[233]
THEREFORE, THE TRUMP JUSTICE
[234]
DEPARTMENT COULD USE, WITH THE
[235]
SUPREME COURT, COULD EFFECTIVELY
[237]
FORCE THE UNIVERSITIES TO END
[239]
THEIR RACIST AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
[242]
POLICIES.
[242]
BY FORCING THEM TO LOSE THEIR
[244]
FEDERAL FUNDING.
[245]
SO, AS I SAID, PRESIDENT TRUMP
[247]
WILL END AFFIRMATIVE ACTION LIKE
[249]
LINCOLN ENDED SLAVERY.
[250]
>> AND I WANT TO PUT ON THE
[252]
SCREEN A PIE CHART THAT SHOWS
[254]
THE BREAKDOWN OF THIS INCOMING
[256]
CLASS AT HARVARD.
[257]
I WANT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION.
[260]
22.2% ASIAN-AMERICAN.
[262]
HOW MANY ASIANS ARE TOO MANY
[264]
ASIANS FOR THE HARVARD INCOMING
[267]
CLASS?
[267]
SHOULD THERE BE ANY LIMIT WHAT
[269]
SO FAR?
[269]
WHAT IF ON THE MERITS IF YOU GO
[273]
BY GPA AND S.A.T. SCORE YOU
[276]
COULD FILL THE ENTIRE CLASS AT
[279]
HARVARD WITH ASIAN-AMERICANS,
[281]
SHOULD THEY DO SO?
[282]
>> FIRST OF ALL THERE A
[285]
MULTIFACT TOMORROW PROCESS, NINE
[288]
CRITERIA INCLUDING GRADES AND
[291]
ESSAY.
[291]
I'M NOT SAYING GRADES AND
[293]
TERRITORIES SHOULD BE THE ONLY
[298]
THING.
[299]
BUT THE SIMPLE POINT IS AS AN
[301]
ASIAN-AMERICAN, IT IS HARDER TO
[302]
GET INTO COLLEGE OR GRADUATE
[304]
SCHOOL THAN ANY OTHER RACIAL
[307]
CATEGORY.
[308]
IN EVERY PLACE WHERE THE DATA IS
[310]
AVAILABLE, IT IS CONSISTENTLY
[311]
HARDER FOR AN ASIAN-AMERICAN TO
[313]
GET IN.
[313]
I USED THE EXAMPLE EARLIER OF
[315]
MEDICAL SCHOOLS, ADMISSIONS
[317]
WHERE IT WAS 50% EASIER TO GET
[320]
INTO MEDICAL SCHOOL AS AN
[321]
ASIAN-AMERICAN COMPARED TO AN
[324]
AFRICAN-AMERICAN.
[324]
STATISTICAL DATA, THERE'S NO
[327]
ACTION FOR RACISM.
[328]
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IS A
[330]
SYSTEMIZED RACISM.
[331]
IT'S A RACIAL CLASSIFICATION
[332]
SYSTEM THAT CHANGES PEOPLES
[334]
CHANCE OF ADMISSION TO COLLEGE
[336]
OR GRADUATE SCHOOL.
[337]
AND THERE'S NO JUSTIFICATION FOR
[342]
RACE
[343]
RACISM.
[343]
>> BUT VIJAY, YOU UNDERSTAND THE
[345]
POINT I'M TRYING TO MAKE FROM
[346]
THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE
[347]
ADMISSIONS THEY ARE SEEKING TO
[349]
ASSEMBLE A DIVERSE STUDENT BODY.
[350]
AND IF ASIANS ON THE MERITS
[352]
COULD DOMINATE THE CLASS, THEY
[353]
MIGHT NOT WANT TO DO THAT,
[355]
BECAUSE THAT, THEREFORE,
[356]
DETRACTS FROM THE ABILITY OF
[358]
HAVING EQUAL REPRESENTATIONCH
[363]
ALL OF
[364]
ALL GROUPS.
[364]
YOU GOT THE FINAL WORD.
[365]
>> I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT UP THAT,
[367]
I'M PROUD TO HAVE GONE TO UCLA
[369]
WHICH IS A SCHOOL THAT DOESN'T
[373]
PRACTICE THOSE ADMISSIONS.
[376]
WE HAD A RICH EDUCATIONAL
[377]
EXPERIENCE WITHOUT PRACTICING
[379]
RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN THE
[380]
FORM OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.
[381]
SO I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO
[383]
BELIEVE THAT AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
[385]
RACISM IS ESSENTIAL TO A GOOD
[388]
EDUCATION.
