34 percent of Harvard students are white. 43 percent of those students are either legacies, children of faculty, kin of donors or a recruited athlete. 75 percent of them would not have gotten in if not for special status (National Bureau of Economic Research).
But when in doubt, blame the Black people!

“But over the past 40 years, archaeologists, linguists and historians have come to see Swahili society as predominantly homegrown — with outside elements adopted over time that had only a marginal impact.”

Happy New Year.
I wish you all the very best for 2023.
May our many differences - be it class, caste, gender, ideology, religion, or race - fade in significance as compared to the great primacy of our shared humanity.

Seeing the @siddharthkara interview on Joe Rogan was gut wrenching. Knowing that my @Apple IPhone is made from the labor of enslaved children is infuriating. Companies have to find better & ethical ways to make their products.

@siddharthkara when you talked about tunnels collapsing burying people alive, I couldn’t stop crying. The horror and injustice. Companies that rely on cobalt @Tesla @Apple @Google know this is happening yet do nothing to change it. bit.ly/3WM7nMn

There is something special about living in a city that supports dreamers like me.
