In the US? Well yeah. Black people comprise 1% of college graduates. White people are 60%.

It doesn't help when students are under-qualified for the schools that they get into. It hurst every party.

Black people are being scammed by colleges. Colleges happily admit everyone and hand out diplomas in return for ridiculous tuition (only made possible thanks to student loans) and graduate folks with very little prospect of getting jobs and repaying loans.

In the end black people with diplomas end up college educated with fancy but useless degree, still underemployed, with giant student loans accruing % every day and living paycheck to paycheck.

Literally modern servitude reinvented, what an irony
