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.

realistically it will help high-achieving east-asian first- and second- generation immigrants.
