Tried it on that exact topic. Got an F, because it is an "anomaly for a minority to succeed in society". But I still ended up with an A in that class because I learned that mimicking the professor is the key to success.
What professor did you have? Does he live under a rock? I know several successful minorities (black, hispanic, asian). It's typically all about the person and said person's attitude and effort.
Professors like this ignore all things that do not fit in their ideology, or view of the world. For what it's worth, most liberals do live under a rock

Mainly because he is a neo-Marxist. He sees race and sex, and carves up society into little groups that are too 'oppressed,' so thus the government must intervene to ensure equality. The conservatives sees individuals as one race... who may be happen to be black, white, latino, etc.
The professor, as a Marxist, must therefore silence those who prove otherwise because he has blind faith in his ideological system. He accomplishes this by engaging in ad hominum attacks such as racism, bigotry, sexist, homophobia, because he does not know how to answer exceptions to the rule. And quite frankly, most conservatives fold like a cheap camera when they are called these things. The ultimate agenda, is to convince the 'oppressor' that they are a racist, biggot, sexist, homophobe, unless they agree with the Marxian view of history.
The sad part, is that the professor does not care about the culture or subcultures of minorities that cause the lack of success. A perfect example of the fallacy of
post hoc erto propter hoc, because a person is a minority, therefore they will not be successful. Well, doesn't that seem compassionate? That's ultimate racism. And that's what we're fighting against, because MANY college presidents agree with Marxian ideology.
