Well the 'big push' neatly side stepped an entire cohort of young low income white men born in the 70s onward.

If you were fortunate to not be born a low income white male then I think you benefited greatly from preferential college admissions and grade inflation etc. However, a huge chunk of the population has indeed been excluded from preferential treatment due to their unfortunate accident of birth.

If 'affirmative action' looked at familial SES alone then it would get 100% of my support - it steadfastly refuses too and so it doesn't.
