White kids from rural areas do not diversify white kids from urban areas.
That's like people trying to claim economic diversity. It's just new ways to not have to explain why your world is still XX% white.

Except it is not DEI and it is based on where they live not who they are are.
It is based on the high school.

So, if DC got the small town/rural school award from College Board, should they put it on their application awards section to try to highlight this? Even if they live in a suburb and the magent school happens to be rural?

The Small Town and Rural Students (STARS) College Network was founded a few years ago, institutionalizing this focus.

Admitting more rural kids, I assume. Those kids tend to be white.

Why do you assume it's the same kids? It's probably the kids who wanted out all along. The rest are happy to go to Clemson or Auburn.

This isn’t “new” at all. As an example, see: Vance, JD. Def a DEI student: geographic diversity plus military background.
