    The dirty secret of affirmative action is that schools were not filling their ranks with inner city or low income African American students. They were heavily recruiting wealthy students from Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, the Caribbean, and the UK.

    I didn’t go to a top school by any stretch of the imagination but every Black student I met was wealthy and international.

      Same here. In our district they have every hbcu, but not even the state local engineering college on their wall of universities.
