Some of the people celebrating this have the notion that it will primarily help white kids. I suspect these people will be in for a rude awakening.

It helps rich white kids. A group that we really need to think about helping more because they have it so tough.

The people celebrating this are celebrating that it hurts Black and Hispanic students. White kids might get helped, or might not, but that was never really the goal.
