@amoore001 - I am not going to get into whether or not you are qualified to attend Yale, but I would like to clarify that Yale is a very welcoming and diverse place. As an AA who graduated in 1978 and who has a daughter there that is a sophomore now, I can say that you should not believe everything that you see on television or read on Huffington Post. Are there insensitive (maybe even racist) people at Yale? Most likely since Yale is firmly situated in the real world. Do things flare up every once in awhile? Yes to that too. However the response of the school is more telling. You should also read how the Administration at Yale reacted to the issues raised by the students. That is more telling of how the environment is.
I came to Yale in 1978 from an all black public school system in Washington DC. It is an understatement that my experience there was very difficult academically to begin with but I hit my stride. Socially, there were many kids there that I bonded with who had similar backgrounds. Today, they are still some of my dearest friends.
If you want to know how actual students of color feel at Yale, look up the Black Solidarity Conference at Yale, Black Students at Yale (BSAY), the African American Cultural Center (the "AfAm or “House”), Black Men’s Coalition at Yale, or any other of the many groups there. If you want more specific information, send me a PM and we can talk or I can put you in touch with actual students of color. Hope this helps.
