[quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing: If diversity on campus is the goal, in order to create an environment in which students interact with those "different" from themselves, we for sure should base AA on income rather than race. As a white woman from an UMC family, I have much more in common with black friends from a similar SES than I do a poor white. Our interests are similar, our communication style is similar, our career aspirations are similar, and our travel and other experiences are similar. But put me in a room with a white woman from a poor rural town in Kentucky, and the difference is night and day. Our experiences are different, our outlook on what we want from a career is different, the way we communicate, how we relate to our parents, and so forth.

That is why AA policies should be income-based. A campus is much more diverse when there are different SES groips, much more so than a bunch of upper-middle class white and black kids with college-educated parents. Plus, you're giving priority to the poor kid. I say let's give him a chance. The upper-middle class black kid already has had advantages.[/quote]
