Reminds me of what Ms Obama said about her classmates and America

It's crucial that people don't see my election [as Law Review President] as somehow a symbol of progress in the broader sense, that we don't sort of point to a Barack Obama any more than you point to a Bill Cosby or a Michael Jordan and say 'Well, things are hunky dory,'" Obama said.
"There's certainly racism here. [Harvard] There are certain burdens that are placed, more emotionally at this point than concretely," Obama said.
"Professors may treat black students differently, sometimes by being, sort of, more dismissive, sometimes by being more, sort of, careful because they think, you know, they think that somehow we can't cope in the classroom," he said.
