Question: What does getting far in school have to do with race?


The opportunities presented to someone would be different for different races. A large number of african american, hispanic and other minorities were/are in lower income communities and have a harder time to afford education. They were/are also in a position where it would be easier for them to have to drop out to support thier families with low paying jobs or turning to crime, etc. There's more to talk about but that's the gist of it.

 

You're not gonna see a scholarship like that around say, beverly hills. Because everyone can afford school.


A lot of students take student loans to pay for their studies. Is that not available in the US?


I dont live in the US. But I thought loans are avoided as much as possible because paying them back is hell.


Know what is hell to pay back? A mortgage. Student loans are nothing compared to that. Or as the other poster said, get a job and pay for your further studies.
