What's the bottom line?

[PayFor]

Conversely, would the failure of a less fortunate URM, like the failure of any URM, serve to hurt the cause of others who are more privileged? Just curious…

<p>I think it could, because some people would judge the more privileged URM based on the performance of the one who failed. Negative stereotyping, in other words. However, the privileged URM has more resources to overcome that negative stereotype than the underprivileged URM, so the damage is less serious. I’m curious what you think . . .</p>
