What do you guys think about Vijay "Jojo" Chokalingam turning "black" for Med School Apps?

I can’t believe that the admission people realized he wasn’t black.

Seems like he fooled other people as well, though the result was not always in his favor, as actual black people probably know…

@Max Ehrenfreund in Washington Post

By his own account, his make-over taught him what life in the United States is like as a black person. With his clipped eyebrows and shaved head, clerks and strangers mistook him for black and treated him badly.

The plan had some drawbacks, said Chokal-Ingam, who describes himself now as a “professional resume writer, interview coach, and graduate school application consultant.”

“Cops harassed me. Store clerks accused me of shoplifting. Women were either scared of me or couldn’t keep their hands off me,” he wrote. “What started as a devious ploy to gain admission to medical school turned into a twisted social experiment.”
