[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For years, UMC and wealthy black students have been able to glide into T20 schools because they check the right race box. We’ve all seen it in the private schools. Now everyone has to compete. The focus should be on smart FGLI students who don’t get all the privileges and benefits of wealthy private school students who use race as a hook.[/quote] I support affirmative action but I agree with this. I attended an Ivy as a white working class kid on financial aid. My Black roommate whose parents were professors at a prestigious SLAC applied for and received numerous “minority fellowships.” Privileged people of color still encounter difficulties caused by racism that I will never be able to fathom but the first gen students of color were not even informed about those fellowships, they were stuck at work study jobs in the cafeteria.[/quote]
