We had a similar talk to Freshman at UC Berkeley. For my family, two brothers graduated from a UC school, and one did not make it to his second year.

I was glad I went there and would not really change it unless maybe AA was illegal at my time and I could have gotten one of the full rides at much more expensive Stanford that was unofficially reserved for "people who didn't look like me" but had far inferior grades, external activities and work experience.... still resent it.

It is interesting that Harris's father is still alive and has not been a part of her journey. The DNC probably made it clear to him to stay away as a Marxist professor who was only kept on at Stanford after student protests demanding more diverse economic "education."

Big story in the paper recently was about how none of the working-class Harris claims lived in her neighborhood can afford to live there now because too many rich whites have gentrified it. If you look at the statistics in the article, they fail to point out ALL racial groups, but blacks (white, Asian and Hispanic) saw their numbers increase in that neighborhood while those who didn't take advantage of programs to get ahead moved further away, but you know how the news rags like to perpetuate harmful myths. At the same time they talk about the crime wave spreading from Oakland to outlying areas that are more affordable with shootings and sideshows almost every night according to one woman in Vallejo.... One of those once lily-white neighborhoods that is now "diverse."
