As a white college graduate I can definitely confirm that I benefitted from black classmates as well as classmates of every other race. But also Jesus fuck that shouldn’t be the main reason why disadvantaged people of color get to get an education.
I’ll also add that a poverty quota in general is a good thing for colleges. I learned a lot from my impoverished white classmates as well.
There’s generally an effort to get first generation college students, which is a better way to ultimately say poverty quota. It’s a little easier to lie about, but it’s what most schools like to brag about. There’s also a lot more need based scholarships than there used to be, so that helps.
