The question of "fairness" is a complex one.

There is no "level playing field" and affirmative action/race-based preferences will never create one. Not everyone inherited generational wealth. In fact, some took care of their parents and grandparents in the latter years. Not everyone can afford private schools, tutors, summer educational programs, SAT seminars/training, or assistance with the college admission essays. Not everyone has "connections" in business or at universities to facilitate admission, internships, and employment. Not everyone has parents that can guide them in how to succeed in business.

Demonstrated effort and ability should matter. How should it be assessed? What else should matter in admission/recruitment?
