It should be noted that if admissions were perfectly race blind and did (rightfully) correct for financial means, you would likely still end up with more poor Jews and Asians in the student body than Blacks and Hispanics. And that is why they don’t do it. Because it still wouldn’t give them the pretty superficial picture of diversity they’re looking for. The uncomfortable truth here is that they’re using a coarse-grained and super messed up attribute (race) to correct for a problem that goes much deeper than pure economic disparities.
