[Livnthedream]

Vijay Jojo Chokal-Ingam, who claims he got into medical school by pretending to be a black man, now thinks President Trump will "end affirmative action like Lincoln ended slavery."

So you are saying that a known liar is guessing something he has no idea about?

[Raptor With a Saber]

Affirm action is horrible and should be ended especially now a days when its not needed.

Did the med school send him an acceptance letter that said "Hello! We have accepted you based on your race. Congrats!"

Because he could have just gotten in.

Or he got in with much lower scores than is needed for other groups.

This guy. He gets it.

He's not related to Rachel Dolezal is he?

This guy. He gets it.

The whole system in the US seems insane. Punishing asians and jews because they work hard.

Black people in the richest parts of the US are apparently more disadvantaged than indians living in the slums of Dehli on a few dollars per week.

family friend's kid did the same thing over a decade ago... checked minority one one app, white on the other... they didn't realize the rest info matched, minority got in. and when confronted was told they had quota's to meet, but allowed him to stay accepted.

They don't work harder but nice stereotyping. As for the kid in India how well do black people do in New Dehli do by comparison?

3.1 is simply too low for his group.

Vijay Chokalingam is the child of two health professionals who grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

What the hell are you even talking about?

Hopefully this gets shut down soon. Elba's derailed enough threads.

This popped up here already but he didn't get accepted to the original school he applied to so... what does it matter?

If a person applies to 1 school as inidan with a 3.1 when average is a 3.5 and then applies as black with a 3.1 to a school with an average of 3.0... what the fuck does that prove?

He got in at another school... not the "same" school so it literally means absolutely nothing.

His scores and mcat are right about borderline for getting into a lot of schools. Plenty of white people get into medical school with grades similar to that. There's a fucking site where you can look up actually peoples grades and their mcat scores what schools they got accepted to and which they got denied to.

This person just used race as an excuse for why he didn't get into a particular school.

I guess you're right, it's just a shame that we already know people get essentially deducted or improved score just because of their race.

Cool, has anyone shown proof. I'll wait.
