When I was entering High School, my city was just ending forced bussing for desegregation. Everyone in the "white" neighborhood was bussed to the "black" neighborhood for Freshman year (but NOT for tenth-twelfth grade). The "black" school was considered "desegregated" because of the number of white kids that went there (even though a pretty significant number of people from the white neighborhoods sent their kids to private school for 1 year).
In order to keep the racial balance in the black school, they introduced a magnet program that would run from ninth-twelfth grade to encourage at least a few white kids from sticking around. I was unpopular enough that I didn't care if I didn't go to the white school and I was interested in the magnet program. As an added bonus, anyone in the magnet program could actually wave one year of P.E. (two years required to graduate instead of three). AWESOME!
They actually didn't even have challenging enough courses for me and allowed me to take a few courses at the local City College (an opportunity the white school would have never provided).
By my senior year, I was one of only three white males (there were a couple of white girls, too) that had stuck through all four years. The entire success of the city's desegration program was resting on my senior year.
One of my city college classes was a Tu/Th class that I took during P.E. time. They agreed that as long as I dressed out three days a week, I'd at least get a passing grade. Well, not going to P.E. was a lot easier than going. So me and my best friend (one of the other white guys) pretty much just stopped going entirely.
Around the third quarter, the VP called us into the office and yelled at us about how we HAD to start going. He told us not to "leave ourselves hanging by the scrotum!" That got us going. For a week.
The last week of school, we were again called into the Veep's office. He was furious at us. The P.E. teacher refused to give us a passing grade and it was entirely our fault. My buddy and I were trying to bargain our way out, when he cut us off and yelled "I HAVE TO PERJURE MYSELF SO YOU CAN GRADUATE!" My friend and I stared at each other... He went on to explain that he was going to put himself down as the teacher of record and give us both D's.
He didn't bother to explain that it wouldn't look good if we, the majority of the white student body in the first year of the experimental desegregation, failed to graduate.
TL;DR: White guy who graduated HS on affirmative action.
