Everyone else here is talking about the linked article - the actual subject of the thread - and you're talking about something completely different that you googled.

Peter Schmidt, the author of the thread's linked article,  wrote the book "Color and Money: How Rich White Kids Are Winning the War over College Affirmative Action." which is the subject of this thread,
even if you refuse to believe it.

You have argued that Peter Schmidt's linked article above has nothing to do with Affirmative Action. That couldn't be more wrong. And you complain that my mention of his book is unrelated to the subject of this thread, when it is the exact same topic of this thread is simply nuts.

About the book:

The elite U.S. universities remain "bastions of privilege" in spite of decades of affirmative action and a stated commitment by schools to diversify their campuses, says the author of a new book on college admissions.
In "Color and Money: How Rich White Kids Are Winning the War over College Affirmative Action," higher education journalist Peter Schmidt argues that many select schools give admissions preference to white applicants and that, while people resent race-conscious admissions, they ignore admissions based on wealth or influence. "As it stands now, if anyone is winning the war over college affirmative action, it's wealthy white kids," says Schmidt, a deputy editor of the Chronicle of Higher Education.
