AA should identify and help those who are likely to perform better than their scores would suggest. that's generally people (urms and whites) who score lower due to getting a worse education because of lower ses. not dumb as shit rich minorities who couldn't hack it against their peers.

The first student survey I conducted suggested that UCLA’s diversity programs had produced little socioeconomic variety; students of all races were predominantly upper crust.5 Black-white performance gaps were very large, and this had visible effects on classroom interaction.
The admission preferences extended to blacks are very large and do not successfully identify students who will perform better than one would predict based on their academic indices.
