What are you talking about? Minorities have to work WAY harder to get to where you and your family always took for granted you would end up. Institutions of higher learning not even being open to blacks isn’t that far back in time, buddy - whereas your family has had the cultural, monetary, and personal resources to encourage and support you many black kids do NOT. Not to mension the white bias of education, standardized testing, and the crappiness of schools in poor neighborhood. Also, I don’t think you even realize what kind of strain living in a poor family and rough place puts on you as a student. Spoken like a true privilege kid. “Unfairly surpass”? Puh-lease.
