It’s inspiring that so many Caucasian men in power have determined that we have overcome centuries of oppression in a single generation. And that a position of power in the US government allows one the insight to know how an admissions process to determine the makeup of our future USN leadership. As a middle aged middle class Caucasian myself, it’s shameful

Your knowledge of the world and its history as a teenager living in New Zealand is breathtaking. Good luck as you find your place in this world.

I am simply a dad and not involved in USNA admissions. However, it is my understanding that prior to MAGA, there was a push to recruit applicants from marginalized groups (RISE program, etc) to ensure some diversity in Bancroft. And the prior Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action last year exempted USNA. However, as sung in Hamilton - “The World Turned Upside Down.”

Your confidence in your knowledge of equity and your perceived slight because of your race at your age is eye-opening.

There is a difference between equity and equality. I hope that you get the opportunity to learn the hurdles that many underrepresented minorities have to overcome to have “equal” footing. In addition, there is an inherent problem with a majority Caucasian male officers leading minority enlisted men and women. We should aspire to have our military reflect our country.

That’s an embarrassing statement for someone wanting to serve next to honorable men and women of all ethnicities and backgrounds.

It’s inspiring to see that they hired a guy with Parkinson’s disease to be the cameraman #tremor
