Exactly. One of the women Crowder interviews states that she worked very hard, got great grades, did everything she could to be a success. She got into UT, yet doesn’t know if it’s because of her merits and achievements, or because of the pigment in her skin. It’s sad, really. She probably would have made it regardless, but she’ll never know.
