"I think college admissions has really dipped into this fad of trauma dumping."

Said Rushil Umaretiya, who grew up in an Indian immigrant family and will be a freshman at the University of North Carolina.

Quoted in "After the Affirmative Action Ruling, Asian Americans Ask What Happens Next/No matter their views of race-conscious admissions, students were wary of the college application process — and some thought little would change" (NYT).

Umaretiya's observation is based on what he saw colleges and applicants doing before the Supreme Court's new decision came out. After the decision, there will be even more emphasis on the applicant's personal essay, and what can students do but tell the best story of their life as a victim of society?

Even before the decision, [Umaretiya] had seen anxious classmates at his selective high school, Thomas Jefferson High School, in Alexandria, Va., making up stories about facing racial injustice.

What's the difference between framing your life story in terms of victimhood and making up stories? Umaretiya says he saw — how did he see? — his own classmates making up stories. That's the NYT paraphrase. Who knows? Maybe every applicant is honest or no more dishonest than to pick a tale of woe out of context and describe it colorfully. But the heavy reliance on the personal essay as the new way to pursue racial diversity creates far too much temptation and strikes me as quite unfair to those who are scrupulously honest. But who cares? Honest people are all alike. You want diversity.
