[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Newsflash -- first generation college applicants (regardless of race) get a huge boost for admissions at top schools. So enough with this poor white man son story.

Yep. As I said previously, affirmative action for black students is not what is keeping poor white kids out of Harvard. We spend a lot of time focused on test scores by race, but I bet if we looked at them by income, we'd see that at any given test score/GPA combo at elite schools, poor kids have higher admission rates than wealthy kids.[/quote]

You're objectively wrong.  The poor black kid has two hooks whilst the poor white kid only has one.  So there is an inherent advantage and have you ever looked at the admissions stats that elite colleges post on their websites and tout in their admissions presentations?  You see admissions by race proudly trotted out front and center and somewhere down the list is first gen college student which is not a great correlation with income but it's the best proxy that you're going to find.
