[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This strikes me as not at all surprising. I don’t get what the “a ha” is here.[/quote]

I think the assumption that more money = more privilege and opportunities is well understood. I think the A ha! moment is the dip in the low-mid 90s because thats were a lot of DCUM posters fall. I am guessing most my DCUM middle class (AKA rich in the heartland/bible belt) peers assumed, as I did until just now, that the graph was a gradual increase as income rose, with a hockey stick shape once it got to the 95-98% range. We knew we weren’t super advantaged, but even if we don’t say it out loud, maybe we hoped that our cisgender white male offspring from NoVa had at least some benefit from being full-pay applicants.

Cue the DCUM whining about a new kind of donut hole! Boo boo! My kid is disadvantaged by being rich! I guess it’s time to get my 4th grader into fencing or rowing crew while we work on starting a non-profit he can run after school. [/quote]

Haha. Well, it's not too tough to become poor if these folks really want to be like the lucky duck poor people! [/quote]
