    True. I was speaking to StaceyO's comment regarding her Muslim former student comments. If she thinks that she is being treated rude or different, then many she is acting it. In Little Middle East, we get along with people who get along. If you won't say hello or acknowledge someone when they walk past you...then screw you Mick!

    I'd need about 5 fingers of Jack to get through that.

    Come on! MIT? Just because the kid is said to be smart doesn't remotely indicate whether he could pass the rigorous admission standards to get into MIT. Be interesting to follow up and see if they let him in when he graduates high school. If he isn't fighting for ISIS by then.

    Take walk on Ze wild side. This is the first i've heard of Ze.

    Usage notes[edit]
    • The genderqueer community are the primary proponents of ze. One refers to a person with ze and hir typically (a) when their gender is unknown, and one wishes to avoid assuming their gender, or (b) when they are neither male nor female in gender, making he and she (and also either/or terms like s/he or (s)he) inappropriate and potentially hurtful.
    Shaved its legs and ze was a hir, doo, todoo, todoo, doo todoo doooo

    MIT is recruiting the future by appearing to give a shit.

    That kind of twisted affirmative action will keep a deserving Asian kid out of MIT

    risk-based assessment was needed

    i really fear that a student with an "american" sounding name would not have caused this response.

    which one? The response by the school and police or the response by everyone and their mother who wanted to attach their name to this.

    by everyone. there is an epidemic of knee-jerk, uniformed over-reactions.
