Indian guy pretends to be black to get into med school

He got in. His scores weren't high enough to get in as a regular dude but when he went by his middle name and pretended to be a black man, he apparantly got in through Affirmative Action. Later he wrote a book about it:

I got into medical school by saying I was black. I lied.
Honestly, I am about as black as Gandhi.

Once upon a time, I was an ethically challenged, hard-partying Indian American frat boy enjoying my third year of college. That is until I realized I didn’t have the grades or test scores to get into medical school.

Legitimately.

Still, I was determined to be a doctor and discovered that affirmative action provided a loophole that might help.

The only problem? I wasn’t a minority. So I became one.

I shaved my head, trimmed my long Indian eyelashes, and applied as an African American. Not even my own frat brothers recognized me. I joined the Organization of Black Students and used my middle name, Jojo.

Vijay, the Indian American frat boy, became Jojo, the African American med school applicant.

When these pets on the ZOG and their handers are all dead, this craziness won't make any difference.

1)Too much of one thing defeats the purpose.
2)Everybody is full of it. What's your hypocrisy?

I sometime wonder if I had claimed to be "black" (I most definitely do not "look" black), using the excuse that my deceased grandfather told me a "family secret" that he had a great-grandmother that was a Hottentot, etc.; it would be an airtight excuse like the one The Mormon Founder Joseph Smith used to start his sect. I mean, what is the definition of "black"? Is there a certain DNA "negro score"? Is there a certain objective criteria? The whole idea of having a checkbox for an application becomes a farce.
