That might be true for some African Americans and AAPI students since there are already at least two generations of those groups that have attended college and joined the ranks of the professional class. But it certainly is not the case for Latinos and Native Americans. I attended a HYSP for college and was very active in the Latino student community. I can count on one hand all the Latino and Native students I knew whose parents graduated from college and had well-paying careers. And among the African American students, most were the second generation in the entire family to attend college. Lots of children of two school teachers or maybe a lawyer or pediatrician here and there. My white classmates were the children of senior executives at major corporations, philanthropy and foundation leaders, generals/admirals, surgeons, and lots of professors. [/quote]
