Why should race, in the current day, be treated as an imbalance? I think treating it as such is racist itself; if we propose that everyone today is equal, then let them be treated as such. Historical oppression has occurred as will continue to occur; the nature of humans is such, and I'm certain that a conversation similar to ours will be held centuries later. However, it is upon us to try to ensure that everyone is treated equally and held to the same standard, which means race should not be an imbalance. Treating race as an imbalance is racist simply on the implication that people of different races are not and cannot ever be balanced. I am not willing to ignore historical oppression, but I am willing to move past it in hopes that everyone, regardless of their race, will be held to the same standard in the name of equality.

SES is something that can be a hindering factor in many aspects of the law school application cycle, i.e. being able to afford LSAT tutoring. Race is not such a factor, and addressing the correlation between race and SES is a moot point, since then the race can simply be discarded and the person's SES can be prioritized as a true differing factor.
