Yes, being a Hispanic at MIT is soooo tough. After all, when he got a meeting with the president:

"We had our conversation in Spanish, and I think that afforded some candor that would not have been there otherwise."

Being able to talk to the Hispanic President of MIT in his own native language and getting benefits from that is not exactly screaming discrimination, is it.

Are you seriously comparing a positive anecdote with several years of issues in his workplace (according to his final remarks)?
