> This isn't just about college, it's about opportunities for a high degree of success in a person's life. Yale doesn't represent "college" it represents "prestigious college that will open doors for the rest of their life".
Why is Yale the only shot for the child of a wealthy, well-connected person of one race but not the poor, unconnected child of another?
> makes perfect sense to prefer them over people who will get other shots at a highly successful life
This is the assumption that rightfully grinds people. Why do we assume because someone is Asian they will not face those barriers? And again, how convenient that the actual descendants of slave traders have reserved seats, too, at these prestigious institutions.
