jangojips:black-to-the-bones:This is quite a shocker. I didn’t think it could get worse ,but it did.I was on my own for college. My parents couldn’t help me. I had to take out loans for my undergraduate education. I legit had people all the time insinuating that “they actually earned their way into college”, implying that I wasn’t in college on my own merits, that the university let me in to fulfill “diversity requirements.” It was easier for them to believe I took a spot away from a qualified white person than earning it on my own. A lot of people also assumed I got my college for free. I wish I did. That would have been awesome. Sadly no. I’m crushed under this student loan debt for the foreseeable future. (Ironically, a lot of the people who made these remarks were getting their education paid for by their parents.) -- source link
