Think about it this way. Blacks and Latinos have higher poverty rates, are more likely to encounter police discrimination and prejudice in general, and are more likely to not have health insurance. Simply put, as a general population, they have it tough. If a student from those circumstances gets a 2100 SAT and is involved in school and their community, as an admissions officer I would have as much respect for them, if not more, than a white or Asian applicant from an affluent background who had their hand held throughout the admissions process.
