You don't think there's an example of this for every ethnicity, bucket?

What do you mean?

Her fellow freshmen were heralded as the second-best recruiting class in the nation. It included the top recruit in the country, a member of the Canadian national team, and five players on the U.S. youth national team.

That's your takeaway from those two tweets?

Besides those cases obviously being bullshit and awful? Do you feel like this is a minority issue overall? That's my question? I'm not sure why this ordeal is becoming a minority issue. Sounds like a lot of underprivileged people have probably received a raw deal out of this over time, no matter the race.

Also, I never made it to his 2nd tweet. It's bucket, so I usually try for the cliffnote's version. Carry on.

Black people getting the book thrown at them? Ya, seems to be a minority issue.

You presented a 2011 case, bucket. You obvioulsy have an agenda/bias with everyone of your posts. Hard to take you serious.

I'm bias'd because I believe the criminal justice system works against minorities?

I think the overall point is that the criminal justice system works very differently for different races and classes, I don't think that's the least bit controversial. 2011 wasn't the last time that anyone was jailed for fraud based on academic misconduct. I don't think any of these people belong in jail, except for the dude they were paying. However, if this was some a small business owner in Sabetha or the parent of an AAU basketball star in KCK brokering people paying to take ACT tests for their kids and friends, they'd be going to jail.

Agreed. Ty. That’s all I was asking.

so interesting question. I saw they popped Lori and Felicity on wire fraud and mail fraud. So if they'd just dropped a bag o cash instead of using the postal service and wire services what would they be charged with?

catastrophe · « **Reply #62 on:** March 22, 2019, 08:11:27 AM »

To the extent there was any fraud involved, I would think you could always nab these people with conspiracy or aiding and abetting. You hear about mail/wire fraud a lot because it’s apparently pretty dang easy to prove.

If these rich people were so stupid, is there any wonder why their kids couldn't get into one of the roughly 100 schools acceptable to their equally dumbass friends?

Did you guys see that Dr. Dre may get canned in this whole thing as well?

That wouldn't check out with Bucket's theory here, so let's not discuss that one.

It repeats the theme that these kids don’t care about Stanford, their parents do. It’s kind of sad they have to project their insecurities into their children.

You definitely read whatever you read wrong. He isn't in this scandal at all, he got his kid into USC the old fashion and legal way, he built an entire department.
