I would suspect pervasive cultural effects (not wanting to step out of line, not wanting to leave home) might be in play to explain the poor performance in these places.But still even after graduating it's still not necessarily true that this white student has better prospects. (Tell that the guys I interned with at U. Wisconsin Madison who were from eastern Kentucky.) Blacks do slightly better than their scores suggest (still digging for my source for that—bear with me). As well a poor white person even with a good score faces poorer prospects getting into college than most minorities. While no doubt some discrimination against blacks is still going on, it's not as simple such that a white person of comparable intellect has a golden boulevard set before him while the black man has the rocky dirt road. |
