I thought it was males who don't read good cause it's for girls?
The issues you're bringing up aren't elephants, they're elephant sized red herrings. You're pretending to argue against one issue while actually just arguing in support of a loosely related but unconnected issue.
Should students who grew up in poverty have greater representation in the education workforce? That sounds like a great idea! Do you have a reason why that idea is somehow impacted negatively or positively by U of M's diversity categories? If anything, it's likely that you'll get your wish with more spots reserved for indigenous students, as the indigenous population in Winnipeg sits closer to poverty in general.
Honest question: Do you have an argument against this? Or could your arguments be boiled down to "Why don't we focus on this instead?"? Because I think your points are actually really great and generally true, but they have almost nothing to do with this really.
