>As a son of non-white immigrants, I grew up with a narrow view of opportunity.

How many white immigrants are able to send their kids to private school? Most non-immigrant white parents don't/can't send their kids to private school. How many parents have neighbors who send their kids to private school?

I am all for what you are doing, but this line is laying it on a bit thick.

We're making the same point. Most people regardless of background don't have access to private school, let alone private school financial aid scholarships. Mentioning my upbringing was to emphasize how narrow my worldview was, including but not limited to schooling options.
