      It's not about pretending that there is equality of ability. It's about declaring and enforcing an equality of dignity & under law, because every system that has ever enforced such distinctions has produced vastly more injustice than a system that does not.

      It's easy to misinterpret "high potential can be found everywhere" - a sentiment dating back at least to Gray's "Elegy" - as "people's abilities are in fact equal and it is only prejudice that makes them seem unequal."

      It's important to be humble about one's own, contingent ideas about signifiers of ability. My own understanding may be limited by my own upbringing and experiences. But that doesn't make the signified level of ability equal across all adults.

      So, for example, I can both be skeptical that an Ivy League degree on a resume is an unambiguous signifier of ability, and, all things equal, prefer that my kids go to a prestigious college over a less prestigious college.

      Affirmative action can identify high-potential people who have experienced more genuine adversity than typical admits. Handled stupidly, it can encourage admission officers to admit an African princeling over a kid from Bed-Stuy achieving against the odds.

      And I mean this literally: The one black kid my highly ranked UG college admitted in my year, was the vastly wealthy son of a Nigerian king.

      when Cambridge MA got rid of rent control there was at least one prince (Swedish, IIRC?) that got dispossessed. The elites are ALWAYS going to be better at finding cracks in the system and exploiting them.

          Maybe the proper admission cohort, given the potential of those who applied/could be persuaded to apply, would have been 10 black admits of whom only 1 was a Nigerian prince. It's suspicious that the only one perceived as sociologically "acceptable" was the prince.
