Don't think you read the thread - The really desirable internships are the unpaid ones at high status places where its who you know that counts no what you know.

I have read the thread. I agree that high status unpaid internships will largely go to already wealthy, connected candidates. I fail to understand how paying a wage to those wealthy already connected candidates will help the BAME kids.
