This is, ultimately, just another form of rich privilege: Being non-racist (or being accepted as non-racist) tracks with education[0], which tracks with family wealth. If you're from a poor family, you're more likely to trip the "racist alert" in some college's admissions process, denying you the ability to gain more education.

For example, if someone expressed a desire to see more stable two-parent families, will that be seen as playing into nasty racist stereotypes? How about if someone castigated a place for not being diverse enough?)
