    Rich people.

    It benefits rich people.

    Do the “affirmative action” on the basis of how wealthy a person’s background is and you get many more people from minorities than without it, whilst not unfairly helping people with the right genetics from wealthy backgrounds and ignoring people with the wrong genetics from poor backgrounds.

    Strangely the solution of simply helping kids from poor backgrounds is never chosen, and instead it’s always “lets help people who happen to have a certain set of genes even if their parents are filthy rich and their life has been a long red carpet so far, same as the non-minority kids”.

    “Let’s not talk about wealth” (the gigantic, crushing elephant in the room) whilst doing a Theatre Of Equality is quite a peculiar American thing.
