The illusion of it all is that you can measure based on "ethnicity" instead of something that matters more... such as being a first generation college student- being a first generation immigrant to the states- if you are eligible for PELL status or not. It's silly that we, the USA, still use ethnicity over socio-economic background as a measure to compare student success. When in all reality- ethnicity does not matter- it's about the culture and family you are raised in. No ethnicity is innately better then any other one. Culturally some might be more focused on education- and as a country, the United States is losing that culture because instead of focusing on future generations we focus on ethnicity and dumb shit.
