While minority groups have seen cultural disadvantages throughout history, they may have an upper hand in being admitted to colleges. There are many scholarships offered to minority groups that are not offered to white Americans. Schools across the nation look for a diverse student population so the more races and ethnicities they can get the better the school looks. So schools might be more likely to admit a minority student who has the same exact transcript as a white student because it makes the school more diverse. So while minorities may have clear disadvantages in many aspects, college may be a different story.
