I think I saw some sort of backlash to this on Twitter

There is. People are pissed he's using Black people to get ahead.

This isn't Joe Blow off the street. He interned for Hillary Clinton, goes to Princeton Day School (35K/year) and was already accepted to Yale. He didn't get accepted because of his essay. They made a story out of the essay because he's an "ally".

Yeah the article is kind of written in a manner that gives the impression that he was accepted for his activism. If anything, the student could use his acceptance to break barriers
