Conflicting

Black but raised in an orphanage with Philippino owners. Black but adopted by a white family. Athletic enough to make it onto a D1 team but not enough to be able to compete on it. Smart to have a 4.0 but not enough to make a good score on the LSAT. Christian but with Democratic values.
