I will flag this in the Racism thread too. As it's a multi-layered story and different people will focus more on different aspects.
Taylor Townsend's account is a long read.
It's been met with a lack of sympathy from many (along the lines of 'you've never buckled down and made the most of your talent, don't shift the buck onto others)
And a real host of support from others (along the lines of 'a large black girl is never, ever going to be treated fairly by a white, paternalistic blazer group)
