> while the DEI types waltzed right in with shitty grades
And you know that because you checked everyone's grades?
I'll also note, you didn't say your "white son" had good grades himself.
Given that "local state school" almost as a rule let most people in, I doubt your "white son"'s good grades. And besides, grades aren't what matters. SAT or ACT scores are what matters.
What happened was unqualified people stopped getting jobs and found groups of people to blame it on.
