<p>“many of her grades are higher than they should be because the teachers apparently bump them up–I doubt her SATs are even close to decent, she does no extracurricular activities except Track & Field (in which she’s not especially good… not bad, but not amazing) and student government–she once played a minor role in organizing a relief effort for Hurricane Katrina–she’s also been an extra in a few plays, and I can attest firsthand as someone once forced to do a project with her that she’s just really, really lazy. But she’s the daughter of state senator, and she’s black. Bingo.”</p>
<p>Perhaps she got in because she has better abilities at logic than you have because the following are gaps in your thinking.</p>
<p>"“many of her grades are higher than they should be because the teachers apparently bump them up”</p>
<p>There is no way that you could know this. Your statement simply seems like bitterness and jealousy.</p>
<p>"she does no extracurricular activities except Track & Field "</p>
<p>There’s no way that you know what her ECs are. You possibly may know what she does at your school, but it is highly doubtful that you know what she does over the summer, in your community, at her church, etc.</p>
<p>" and I can attest firsthand as someone once forced to do a project with her that she’s just really, really lazy."</p>
<p>And, of course, you are not biased and based on that one experience, you know everything about how she does assignments.</p>
<p>" But she’s the daughter of state senator, and she’s black. Bingo."</p>
<p>Let me introduce you to the definition of libel: Publishing something that exposes someone to shame, hatred or ridicule and is not provably true.
Bingo.</p>
