Fortunately for her, she was wrong

A new biography of Michelle Obama details her years as a student at Princeton. The author (as quoted in this Chicago Sun-Times story) calls the conclusion of Obama's senior thesis "one of the most ironic sentences ever written." The sentence:

Princeton "will likely lead to my further integration and/or assimilation into a White cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant," Michelle Obama wrote.
