Abigail Fisher is now Becky with the Bad Grades
The Supreme Court’s ruling in favor of affirmative action has given Abigail Fisher a new title next to “University of Texas reject”— she’s now Becky with the Bad Grades, too.
The major victory for affirmative action turned out to be a big win for Twitter users too, with the trending hashtag roasting Fisher, the white Texan who was denied admission to the university’s flagship campus in Austin in 2008.
She claimed she didn’t get in the school while African-American students with lower grades and test scores were admitted — except she didn’t graduate in the top 10% of her high school class and wouldn’t have been admitted either way, thanks to her mediocre grades.
And of the 47 students that were admitted with grades lower than hers, 42 of them were white.
On top of that, 168 black and Latino applicants who had better grades than Fisher were also turned down from that university, according to ProPublica.
Social media was quick to catch onto her failed bid, calling the trial the “case of Becky with the Bad Grades v. U. of Texas.”
Fisher had a chance to transfer into her desired school if she maintained a 3.2 grade point average as a sophomore — a solid B — but she instead went to Louisiana State University and graduated in 2012.
