It should be noted that neither class nor race is a reindeer-style glowing red nose. There's an recent trend in England of people faking lower-class roots to take advantage of targeted programs, and there are indicators that white Americans are pretending Native ancestry for college admission.
I can imagine the political cartoon right now, a school administrator boasting that 98% of the student body is from a minority group, to a room full of white male students who lied about their ethnicity on the college admission process.
People will try to game the system any number of ways, from faking scores to faking backgrounds. You don't say your criteria are broken b/c people are cheating - that's affirming the consequent
Ignore that background too then. Just use parental or individual income and have some sort of scale, done. This isn't rocket science and the fact that we have to argue about blatantly obvious racism and favoritism just shows how much we've been gas-lighted, and we've had our good intentions twisted and actively exploited by those that benefit from this.
Many years from now, we will be holding these black people accountable for the generational harm and un-earned benefits they've stolen from our current generation's youth.
