When Ziad Ahmed was asked on his Stanford University application “What matters to you, and why?”, his answer was clear.
当齐亚德·艾哈迈德在他的斯坦福大学申请上被问及“对他而言什么是要紧的,为什么?”时,他的回答十分明确。
He wrote: “#BlackLivesMatter”, repeating the hashtag exactly 100 times to highlight the excessive use of police force which disproportionately kills black men and women.
他写道:“#黑人的生命是要紧的”,他重复这一标签正好100次,强调过度动用警力不成比例地杀害黑人。
The Muslim senior high school student in New Jersey has since been accepted to the prestigious University.

信中还说道:“你十分符合斯坦福。你将会为学校带来新颖和特殊的东西,斯坦福是你学习、成长和成功的地方。”
Mr Ahmed told MIC that he was “stunned” to be accepted.
艾哈迈德向MIC表示,他对被录取感到“受宠若惊”。
“I didn’t think I would get admitted to Stanford at all, but it’s quite refreshing to see that they view my unapologetic activism as an asset rather than a liability,” he said.
他说道:“我认为我根本不会被斯坦福录取,但是看到他们将我的强硬的激进主义视为一种资产而非责任使人为之一振。”
