Is there any hope? Are our universities too far gone? Will literature survive?

hope is an invention of mankind for the disenfranchisement of the powerful in favor of the weak.

I just think these sort of ephemeral trends have always existed in academia (just check out Erich Fromm)- Muslims especially just now are in the hot seat of influence that Jews were a few years ago give or take a score, and so their insipid (and as you can see, not really very rigorous workloads or achievements) agendas are touted for a second and then they're tossed aside with the millions of other top 20 school grads that have accomplished nothing.

t. a middle eastern attending a top 20

I don't see the problem. Reading the article makes it seem like this kid is pretty stacked for volunteer work. Probably has a good GPA and SAT score too. Are you this upset that a brown person is doing better than you could ever hope to do?

This is all good but Stanford has 50,000 applicants, a good portion of which are similarly qualified to this kid. The essays are what differentiate candidates, and I find it hard to believe that this really stood out to Stanford as anything more than a virtue signalling opportunity

its not the essay that stood out, he looks to be very involved and the 'essay' itself was pretty ballsy

ballsy as in risking a shot at attending a top 10 university just to make a point

Universities will be saved when all white males are finally banned from attending.
Fuck drumpf and fuck white people.
