<p>Yup, bfg, my HS BF was a race other than white on her college apps, amazing, I never knew and we and been friends since middle school. I had been to her home many times, no one “looked” another race, nothing in the house appeared to be another culture, no one spoke a different language.</p>
<p>To give her credit she was eminently qualified to gain admissions to a top school, but it was annoying she used the racial tip factor and, I think, continues to do so to this day with a very accomplished career</p>
