Editorial echos recent news about affirmative action

In a USA Today editorial, Yolanda Young says: "This new distinction [between blacks who succeed and those who do not] is not based on one's wealth, class or skin tone, but one's mentality."

This echos recent news about affirmative action included the information that in elite universities, the vast majority of black students are either biracial or children of immigrants. They are the ones who are succeeding...and you can't say that they faced less racial discrimination than their counterparts, nor can you say that they had an easier life (in fact, for children of immigrants, it is more likely that it was the opposite).
