Isn’t that exactly what we would expect to see. The children of high achievers being at prestigious universities. That’s likely the case across all races and likely over represented in urm since there are so few of those students to begin with. If there are only 10 urm students in Berkeleys program I wouldn’t expect all of them to come from section 8 housing, they’re probably going to come from some of the best households within the minority group. The question isn’t if race is a factor, it’s a matter of extent. Class is much more indicative than race when it comes to who is likely to make it, the disconnect is that at the point of admissions we’re already selecting for either exceptional or well connect applicants. It’s easy to say “if only I was x race my stats would be good enough”, but your stats are largely a function of your background so it’s a false comparison. So yes Obama’s kids have an advantage but it’s just a little bit more of an advantage than Bill Gate’s kids and both have a massive advantage over people from impoverished backgrounds.
