I understand what you are saying. I agree with it in principle. However in practice it sucks.
It's why we have a cycle of poor communities that never go to college and never get ahead. Do yourself a big favor and take a serious/objective look at social and economic justice issues in our country.
Look at the reports about Baltimore and Chicago. Look at what's happened to our Native American population.
I can tell you that Blacks, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, or whatever else under-represented minority in college is not because minorities are inherently fat, lazy, unmotivated ignoramuses. This is the worst kind of racism.
