Well, there are a shitton of people who graduate from college debt-free and/or are even paid to go because their parent footed the bill and gave them an allowance, yet nobody rails and rails about how that's somehow the gravest injustice ruining society. I'd also be willing to bet the overwhelming majority of these are white.

I'm all about merit and need-based scholarships and you yourself said you "grew up poor." I'm plenty white and I benefited from low-income grants and scholarships, too.

(Note: this is never ever discussed for some reason, but my university also had scholarships that were, effectively, scholarships for white people. They were never called that, because that would be be like throwing yourself into a vat of acid as far as campus politics were concerned, but they were things like scholarships reserved for students with "Icelandic descent" and "Scottish heritage." I suppose in theory you could be a POC and get those but in actual reality, if you looked at the recipient lists in too-bright sunlight you'd go blind.)
