Nah. Lots of US citizens whose ancestors are from SE Asia also are low income and trying for college. California discovered this when race-based metrics were banned for public universities there.

Uh no. Top colleges will always matter

They Passed Over American Doctors
The biggest lie in the U.S. healthcare debate is that we do not have enough American doctors. The truth is simple. We produce them. We just refuse to train them.
In 2024 nearly 20 percent of U.S. medical school seniors failed to match into a residency. That is 8,869 qualified graduates who spent years in school, passed their boards, took on massive debt, and still never got the one thing they need to practice medicine.
At the same time more than 9,700 foreign trained doctors matched into U.S. residencies in 2025. Many hospitals prefer them because they accept lower pay, longer hours, and have no leverage to complain. You cannot practice medicine in the United States without residency. So if Americans are locked out, someone else will fill the spot.
The choke point is not medical school. It is the federally funded residency cap. Congress has not increased these slots fast enough while medical school enrollment has exploded. The result is a rigged bottleneck that leaves American doctors unmatched while taxpayer dollars train replacements from overseas.
The Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act of 2025 would add 14,000 residency slots over seven years. Even that will not undo years of damage, but it is proof that Washington knows the system is broken.
Until Congress expands residency slots at the scale required, the United States will keep graduating qualified doctors who never get to practice. Then hospitals will turn around and say there is a physician shortage and use it as an excuse to import more foreign labor.
It is not a shortage. It is policy.

Social media and AI were the worst creations in history
Woke and humanities majors are worse.
What is "woke?" Explain it to me like I'm five.
Humanities majors . . .

Humanities majors are the future. That's where the jobs and pay are going to be in an AI-powered economy. It's already happening.

The reason they never wanted to do income based affirmative action is because the majority of smart poor kids are rural whites. Those are the absolute last group of people that college administrators want to help.
They don't exactly apply to elite colleges (or colleges in general) in droves, you know. Your premise is flawed. There's no one to help in your scenario.
