So, I was flipping through the NYLJ to see which summers are where. This is what I came across:

RivkinRadler, Attorneys at Law Welcome our 2006 Summer Associates:

Michael C. Cannata: Syracuse

Erin M. Lafarge: Columbia

Jacqueline Mecchella: Albany

That's some GOOOOOD company.

I am in the class of 2007, and I have the honor of knowing this Ms. Erin LaFarge.

Here is her story: She is a white girl that checked the "African American" box on her application to Columbia because some ancestor of hers was from the Carribean. Needless to say, she got the ridiculously large AA benefit that black females get. Once she got in to Columbia, she didn't do so hot.

On her resume and in her firm interviews, she made it very clear that she wanted AA bonus in hiring for being "African American" - at least one firm famously called her out on it in a VERY harsh manner (Simpson Thatcher).

I guess people dont like a white girl that tries to play the black race card.

Author: supple stage

Yes.. this is of course the best part.

She interviews with a young associate that is actually AFRICAN, like straight off the boat from Zimbabwe or somewhere. It somehow got brought up in the interview that she considers herself African-America, so he proceeded to tell her: "Just becuse your Ancestors RAPED SLAVES does not make you black."

I kid you not. The "your ancestors raped slaves" line is priceless... I don't expect people to believe me that somebody actually told this to someone in an interview, but I kid you not that it happened. Perhaps other CLS people can back me up.

From the carribean as in a white person living in the carribean, or 'from the carribean' as in she does actually have a super distant relative who was black, but it's so far back you can't see it anymore?

I know two guys who pulled something similar. One totally white guy in college had had a number of generations of his British ancestors live in an African country, so he checked African American. Another guy in high school was probably a quarter or eighth mexican, but didn't look it at all, had a totally white/english last name, and was religiously jewish. He checked off latino/hispanic stuff. In terms of actual blood I always thought he probably was justified, but no one at school appreciated it much.

I believe its a fairly close relative that is actually black from the carribean (maybe her grandmother?). She has a white name and looks distinctively white. But I guess if I were in her position I might also say that I was "african-american"... its the system that is messed up, not her choice of which box to check.

hm. Yeah. That actually makes me think the ancestors comment was fucked up. I mean, if one side of your ancestral line raped the other side, you've still got both in you. Many (most? no idea) lighter skinned african americans are the product of master/slave rape from way back when - so their ancestors raped slaves (also ancestors)...

If he was going to take issue with her because she was visually white, fine, but the ancestor/rape comment rather misses the mark.

It was high school, who knows how these things get out. He may have told someone as a stupid 14 yr old when he thought it wasn't a big deal, etc.

Interestly, compare him to another friend who was half Mexican, with an hispanic sounding last name, but who looked and sounded just as white --> no one cared. It was just the difference in the last name. If anything, this guy seemed even whiter.

I'm 3/8 Mexican, but I don't look it at all, so I didn't check it off. I wasn't worried about what my school would think, but what a firm would think when some blond-haired, blue-eyed guy claiming to be Mexican comes in to interview.

Why?? The schools refuse to define what they mean by "african-american" or "hispanic". They don't explicitly go by the "one-drop" rule. They don't have some 1/16 or 1/8 rule. They don't even go by the "self-identification" rule. They actually let every person applying decide for themselves what the criteria are and decide whether or not they apply. As long as this girl qualified under SOME reasonable criteria (she qualifies under the "one drop rule"), then she has broken no rules. No disciplinary action should be taken ... the rules just need to be changed.

Agreed. You can't get pissed at someone for saying they are X when you haven't defined how you determine X. It would be insane to have someone kicked out of law school on an 'I know it when I see it' standard.
