You’re refusing to understand the point I’m making. I’m not surprised. It doesn’t fit in with the persecuted white people narrative.
Before we move on, let me reiterate that I was as academically qualified as anyone else in the pool of applicants. Let’s not forget that, lest you start complaining that I took some superior white student’s spot.
Your argument is specious at best. I wasn’t the only athlete who played an instrument and was interested in theatre. Nor was I the only person in my class who had lived in Europe because of the military service of a parent. None of those things made me unique on their own.
ALL of the things I mentioned, including my race, are what make me unique. One can’t take an ingredient out of a pie and then say it’s still the same pie. It’s not. Is that clear enough for you? One might substitute one ingredient for another, but it’s still a different pie. If this happens, one has to choose between the pie with butter or the pie with shortening, for example. Still different pies. They might taste the same, so then one has a tough choice. However, they’re still different pies. Do you see where I’m going with this? There was only one person who had all of my characteristics. You couldn’t replace me with another person exactly like me except white. It doesn’t work that way.
Besides, how do you know my race doesn’t make me unique? What do you actually know about it? Only what I’ve said. What if I told you that I’m actually tri-racial. On my father’s side, I’m of black (slave black) and Creek (you know, the indigenous real American people). On my mother’s side I’m proudly English, white English, like first-generation English-American English. No tell me that my race doesn’t make me unique.
