No, I'm not moving the goalposts! Sowell's point is exactly that - being the worst in your class, and sharing that with all your peers of the same race, is tantamount to constant demoralization and disenfranchisement. This dynamic leads to higher drop out rates. Either way, it's really not my theory. It's something Thomas Sowell documented in one of his books. Here he is talking about it: "Thomas Sowell: affirmative action creates academic failure & resentment" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVvnTByzTmA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVvnTByzTmA. Sowell is black, if it matters. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Sowell https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Sowell.
