much like woke whiteys blame the state of inner cities entirely on bad whiteys they blame the excess of asians on whites too. its all corporate overlord's faults for importing skilled asians that went on to breed skilled asians. so punishing asians is actually righting a wrong since blacks were only imported to be farm equipment, and therefore ok.

I actually learned years ago that I was turned down one of my colleges I applied to specifically because I was a white man and they wanted to have a race quota for less whites and asians and more stronk black women, learned it from one of the college deans years after the fact
It was a rather conspicuous one since my qualifications were like 3 standard deviations above their average acceptance, they weren't getting that many 1560+ SATs

Merit=white/money/influence/who do you know.
I don't know that incentivizing college admissions' is the answer either. Cannot force people to become anti racist.

I was listening to a 538 podcast while walking my dog and they stated that both white Democrats and black Democrats are NOT in favor of race based affirmative action in college admissions. IMO, it's already too late to help underprivileged people. Yes, you can help with tuition, but you're already skimming from the top of the inner cities. That's not going to help the vast majority of inner city children.

How about this: once COVID is over, implement a strategy where inner-city children are bussed to suburban areas and vice versa. Allow students to experience diversity when they are young. In addition, give each school district an equal amount of funding. That won't solve every issue because it all starts in the home, but it should help. This is a multi-generational fight that's going to take decades to solve.

You were probably overqualified and they knew you weren't going to attend the university. A buddy of mine got rejected from UCSD yet got into Cornell and Cal. It happens.
