Spent a year at an Ivy League. I met dozens of affluent, politically connected racial minorities, mostly from Northeast prep schools. I met exactly 0 poor kids from the South, or inner city Chicago or Detroit, or some other such background. It was pretty obvious what was going on.

Dozens vs 0 would be an overstatement, but the disparity is still there.

I suspect it was exacerbated by what social circles you were traveling in.
