Hmmm.....I'm going to give a concrete example that occurred in 1974, then I want to ask a coupe of questions.
Slum school, barrio of south San Antonio, Texas.
Two students.
Student A - Father was a low level manager, wife worked. First son was in the top 4 of talent the class. Modest extra-curricular activities.
Student B - Parent went broke in 1955. Father worked as a flight line mechanic. Mother had suffered from chicken pox encephalitis, with resulting organic brain damage. She was unable to work. Family income 1/3 of Family A. Third son did as much, if not more extra-curricular activities. Student B was also in the top 4 of talent, and had superior SAT scores...
One of these students was a minority. Which one?
One of the students got a free ride to Yale. Which one?
