<p>@ theespy, who says they do. I come from a black family with an income of over $200,000. And I don’t
expect or want a special look by admissions officers. Colleges look at the whole picture, and they can see I’ve been blessed with oppurtunities others haven’t. But in my experience I’m usually one of the only blacks in my higher level classes, and I get the feeling that teachers are suprised when they see an articulate well mannered black kid like me. So put it however you may, but in my experience advantaged blacks are the exception, not the rule. Now I also get that not all whites are given good oppurtunities and colleges know that, my guess is they’ll look at a white or asian kid from an inner city the same as a black, hispanic, or NA one. But, all in all, I support AA, but only because I think income level and oppurtunities given are just as important as race when judging an applicant.</p>
