Racism on Ivy League Campus and by Alum Donald Trump Cut From Same Ugly Cloth

Black in White by Luke Chueh

Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about Barack Obama, Donald Trump… and Christopher Abreu.
OK, Trump and Obama you probably know about. But who’s Christopher Abreu? He’s a senior at the University of Pennsylvania, about to graduate this spring with honors. But last week, he wrote an op-ed in the Daily Pennsylvanian newspaper in which he made disturbing allegations about a late night incident on the West Philadelphia campus.

“I was heading home at 2 a.m.,” he wrote, “which meant that students were stumbling out of bars and making their way back home as well.”
He says a drunk student asked, “Where can I get some fried chicken?… You look like someone who knows where you can get fried chicken.”
Abreu writes that he suggested they “try Wawa if you’re hungry.”
The white student yelled out to his friends, “I’m gonna go get some fried chicken! This n—– just told me where it’s at!”

If those words weren’t chilling enough, they remind me of something that one of the school’s most famous alumni, billionaire Donald Trump, who received an undergraduate degree from Penn’s Wharton School in 1968, also said this spring.

“I heard he was a terrible student, terrible,” Trump told the Associated Press in an interview, a claim he’s made in the past but one he doubled down on by suggesting he’s probing that area of the president’s life.
“How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard? I’m thinking about it, I’m certainly looking into it. Let him show his records,” he said, without providing backup for his claim.
Trump added, “I have friends who have smart sons with great marks, great boards, great everything and they can’t get into Harvard.”

Let’s be honest here: The bozos who harassed Christopher Abreu and Donald Trump were saying exactly the same thing. Which is: How the hell did this black man end up on an Ivy League campus? The only difference was the Trump had the extra “maturity” to leave out the stuff about the fried chicken and the N-word.
