A black child growing up facing structural and systemic racism reaches college having suffered a massive disadvantage. A school then making adjustments for this reduces the disadvantage.
There's still a net disadvantage.

I get people who think black folks are either biologically or culturally inferior will think that there is no meaningful disadvantage getting to college.
They should at least understand the views of those who reject those premises.

I stand by the position that society owes a debt not just to children facing racism, but all children who grow up with societal adversity. The poor and the marginalized deserve *explicit* steps to help them. That's only a fraction of the weight of the adversity they face.
I seriously get that those who think the poor and the minorities are genetically inferior will not agree with all this. I get they will advocate for their paradigm in the public space. I just wish they would do more to understand the position of others.
It's often pretty clear.
