143. That isn't what the OP posted.

There has been TONS of racism aimed at this presidency.

My issue is that the OP, in this case, made a blanket statement that ANY questioning of Malia getting into Harvard was racist by definition.

Now, I personally never even thought to question it b/c I have been completely impressed with the president's kids and how incredibly they appear to be raised. They act with a dignity and grace not often seen and so I have no doubt that are incredibly bright and done incredibly well in school. I felt no desire to look up their SAT scores or GPAs.. never even occurred to me.

However, I have also been a HUGE critic of the Legacy system in Ivy league schools and not just the legacy system, but preferential treatment in admissions shown to people of influence.

What brought me into this post was the broad brush. Now, i haven't even seen ANYONE question this (granted I don't listen to talk radio, so maybe a Limbaugh or some other idiot said something).. but this post said any questioning of her admittance MUST be born of racism.

Now, if they want to point to examples of things people said or questions raise, I would be happy to analyze it and make my own judgment. But... the blanket statement is simply not true.
