This surprises me. In my experience, if you are a mostly competent underrepresented minority, you are set.

But that a competent minority would be denied because of his race at a liberal institution on the east coast? Hard to believe.

Did you see the Chris Rock show when he said something like "ain't no white person going to trade places with me, and I'M RICH! [In white person voice] 'I'm going to keep ridin' this white thing, see where it takes me!'"

Hilarious!
