I was wondering what the graph was showing too.
Kids who grow up in poor, predominantly black urban communities in the US are at a tremendous disadvantage due to their schools being so bad, and not having the resources of an upper middle class, white suburb. There definitely is a need to allow those students who have overcome that disadvantage to attend college, even if there scores are not as high as some middle class students. Skin color, though, is a crappy determining factor. I assume black kids who grew up in decent middle class neighborhoods end up getting a lot of those spots. From my perspective of living in a state with real race and class issues, a black kid growing up in a middle class suburb is really not at any kind of disadvantage due to his skin color.
