[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid is white and has parents who graduated college, they are already unfathomably privileged. Of course, they don't realize that, because they have been privileged by it their entire lives. [/quote] Ridiculous. My tiny violin would be out but for your racist assumption made on the basis of skin color. This country has a significant number of poor white folks who are not, privileged. Get out of your bubble and stop using this tired excuse.[/quote] To be fair, the poster specifically refers to white kids who have 2 college educated parents. And s/he is largely correct IMO. Having parents who understand what is entitled in the process of applying to and succeeding in colleges and universities *is* a huge advantage socioculturally and academically. [/quote]
