Tiger Mom vs. anti-abolitionist stereotypes
Even if you want to say that everyone is equally capable, in respects to intelligence, the Asians in question have a neurotic disposition, and the blacks in question have a passive disposition.
Black secessionists say it, too.
Most importantly, what was the purpose of the first colleges, as they were originally intended.
They were like the Greek, open forum or public library. Religion, humanistic philosophy, and science were discussed, contemporaneously. College was a free marketplace of ideas, like what we are doing here. It was like the internet.
Are they supposed to assign status, serve as a market control, to qualify people, give work assignments, saddling someone with lifelong debt peonage.
It was never invested with any moral authority, to the best of my understanding.
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
I think, college is like Goebbels' big lie, because the state has failed to shield people from the consequences. This is a bubble, set to pop, like manufacturing, travel, dotoms, and real estate, which have no inherent value, besides to saddle the busybodies with makework.
