Those proxies are probably better than using race imho. At least that way, the black millionaires' son ends up being treated the same way as the white millionaires' son when they live in the same gated community and attend the same exclusive private school together.
- 1234letshaveatw 5y agoAgreed, and to some extent I would think you would want your most talented students to have access to network with students that have an "in" with the rich and powerful (whether that is hereditary or whatever). If you exclude some of those, ahem, less talented progeny you lower the value of some of these schools I would think for minorities, the less privileged, etc. eg. Wouldn't you want the next Granville Woods to have access to a VCs daughter or a Senators son?
