It would seem more "fair" to instead factor in your parents' income or education, or what kind of neighborhood or high school you're from.
- MikeTheGreat 9y agoThose factors all correlate with your race, though, so this doesn't really change anything - racism by proxy is still racism.

That guy needed all the help he could get because slavery.
