"I met Orlando when I was tutoring kids in math at Mandela School..."

Joanne Jacobs links to a National Review article on how to write a good diversity essay. Since the Supreme Court ruled that the University of Michigan’s point system was unconstitutional, colleges have sought out other ways to reach a “critical mass” of minority students – thus the “diversity essay.” I’ve been wondering how long it will take until a white student is ejected from a school because he wrote a misleading “black” essay on his admissions application. It’s only a matter of time.
