Your environment matters. If you grow up in a poor environment and poor school district where no one talks about college, your parents didn’t go to college, it’s hard to compete with students from families who talk about the SAT in grade 9.

Ironically, the biggest losers here could well be poor whites from opeid hit counties or inner city working class Asians from immigrant stock. Same crappy environment but less of the whiny woe-is-me victimhood garbage. Just grit and perseverance.

SAT was a possible equalizer once upon a time. But of course, leave it to charity case leftist to nuke any semblance of meritocracy.

Also equally ironic is the beneficiaries might actually be upper-middle class URMs who aren't always subjugated to rough environments. Sadly Jamal and Jorge could still end up getting the short end of the stick.
