What you&#x27;re citing is how well academically poor kids did in school. That is not because of discrimination or racism, that is merely what occurred. I think a further study about how well each group does in terms of say, getting a job or getting to university would be more valuable.<p>Poor students have an immensely huge problem already (being poor), the problem is how do they climb out of poverty? There is no easy path but being &quot;white&quot; is easier in that (for ex.) looking for a job, there won&#x27;t be people who discriminate against you because you&#x27;re black, asian or latino. The same minority applying to the same job now also has to deal with any preconceived discriminatory outlooks of the hiring manager. that is the _out_ that white people get.<p>I agree that we should, &quot;we give everyone the best start in life&quot;, but you act as though whites don&#x27;t already get that or are being penalized now by your, &quot;how do we cripple some groups so everyone gets an equal start in life&quot; statement. White people have always been unequal from other minorities in that they&#x27;ve always had an advantage. Your view of &quot;crippling&quot; is everyone else&#x27;s view of a level playing field.
