One more audit study relevant to this issue. Does intraracial discrimination exist in college admittance? For example, do some institutions screen for *a certain kind of black student*? Thornhill 2019 says yes.
@mattyglesias possibly of interest.

@mattyglesias Researchers sent two emails a piece to white admittance officers at 500+ universities. All were purportedly from black high school seniors inquiring about the school. The question was whether the student would get a response.

@mattyglesias Here's the trick. The emails were divided into four different narratives: apolitical and racially neutral, political and racially neutral (e.g. "I care about the environment"), racially salient and focused on culture/unity, and racially salient and focused on racial justice. 
@mattyglesias Result: White admissions officers were significantly (17 per cent!) less likely to respond to an email that was racially salient and focused on racial justice. This was especially true when the officer and "student" were men.
The upshot? I'll let Thornhill have the final word.
