@CheddarcheeseMN said Also, the OP of this current thread says it was unfortunate because the original OP was one of a few black parents on CC. But that OP maintained that his child’s URM status was not relevant to the journey…

That was relevant to me… I know as an African American male how important it is to have representation and see that things are possible. Because without those type of role models like his son when I was younger, I would not have made it out of my own early circumstances. His son’s journey, like those of most Black men will matter in ways that are hard for me convey in a CC post. The OP of that thread is also important to me as his voice is an unique one that is sorely lacking on CC…

I completely agree that the OP’s experiences as a African American male are important, and so did commenters who asked him questions about it. It was the OP himself who stated that his son’s URM’s status was not important to the thread or to his son’s college acceptance experiences and he didn’t seem to want to engage in those discussions.
