Since the media gleefully rejoices in the opportunity to destroy teenagers, I'm not surprised they are coming for @KyleKashuv. Villager, if you are reaching for a pitchfork right now, think about how you'd look if everything you'd said as a high schooler was preserved forever.

When I was in high school, some kids dropped the n-word like they were in a Tarantino movie. It was upsetting to me, moreso to the (few) black kids. Does your empathy extend to non-white kids who hear racial slurs or just to white kids who use them?

For some reason I suspect this was not a good-faith question.

No, it is. Do you have any empathy for non-white kids who are called the n-word or (as I was) "paki"? Are they part of your calculation at all?

Of course I do. I think it’s terrible they hear things like that—they shouldn’t have to. But I suppose I’ll turn the question back to you: Do you have any empathy for someone who said some really terrible things, and now might lose his chance to go to Harvard because of it?

The decision to admit someone to Harvard is based entirely on what that person did as a teenager. So it seems very odd to say that saying terrible, racist things as a teenager shouldn't be taken into account by Harvard.
