the “kids of color” that are admitted to elite Universities are essentially diversity mascots for the rich white kids that get in. We don’t want Jr. to feel guilty for taking advantage of all that ugly privilege.
Plenty of white kids, rich or otherwise, are refused admission despite far higher test scores, experience, better recommendations, etc., than those of color (or LGBT, trans-sexual, etc.,) who are admitted with glee.
It’s all inconsequential until your kid realizes he lost his seat at the college of his choice to a far academically inferior classmate.
How many Koreans and Chinese are quotad out of the Ivies we’ll never know.
