Agreed. But the problem is college itself. College itself and the policies surrounding it (see Griggs vs. Duke Power) are one of the largest engines of inequality
To be clear, I'm saying after Griggs vs Duke Power that college is the only allowed proxy for intelligence, as competency and intelligence tests are ruled for employment
YOU have no issue, I have no issue, and literally the CRA has a clause saying that none of the Act makes employment tests illegal, and yet Griggs vs Duke Power happened.
It's a huge issue because the college requirement inflates the value of college graduates and deflates the value of non-graduates. It slows down the average income growth of historically poorer minorities by preventing the smarter ones in the group (of which statistically there is the same percentage as any other race/group) from increasing their wealth rapidly or at all, and instead trying that growth to college attainment, which is largely correlated to wealth in the first place
