i don't care what race you are, i don't like people who feel entitled to things. life is a motherfuckin bitch, grow up.

as far as the whole black/white thing, black people definitely still have to deal with the racism of past and present, and it's in our social structure and political structures and legal structures and economic structures and on and on. i certainly acknowledge it, but i still can't help but be annoyed by this article's presumption that white people just 'have it made'. bitch i didn't even dream of ivy league. local public college was the top of my scope of college ambition. stop worrying about the next person's lot and tend to your own.

in my experience, when i was rejected, i went on my own and proved that i can make it just fine without whatever organization/institution/group that rejected me - their loss! life is full of rejection, take it gracefully and show them up with your own accomplishments. the author of the article seems to hold that point of view so kudos to her. she gets it.

lastly i'll say no one cares what college you went to, and if they do - congratulations! you made your way into some elitist, 'exclusive' high society circle jerk. only thing that matters in this field (this is hacker news, right?) is skills, wherever you got em.

You lost me when you casually addressed the author as "bitch."

What do you think this is, the set of The Wire?

The Wire? umm no need to turn to racist generalizations. Not really sure what a tv show about heroin trafficking has to do with this, but keep your stereotypes at bay.

And you didn't address any point other than the diction in my delivery, so way to stay relevant, with your ad hominem, non sequitur, fallacious remark.

For your info, I wasn't referring to the author with the interjection. Get some culture.
