Who Needs Reality TV when Real Life is Just As Ridiculous?

A few days ago, a girl by the name of Suzy Lee Weiss penned an open letter to the Ivy League schools that rejected her from admission. A copy of her letter can be found here. The gist of the letter basically goes like this: you rejected me because I'm white.

In her sassy, bitter, and sarcastic letter, Weiss writes,

"had I known two years ago what I know now, I would have gladly worn a headdress to school. Show me any closet, and I would've happily come out of it. If it were up to me, I would've been any of the diversities: Navajo, Pacific Islander, anything."


As you can probably imagine, the responses to her letter were highly negative. Some people agreed, but mostly people just had a lot to say.
