That's a tough one. I tend to dislike privilege. And I'd probably pick the white kid who came from nowhere and kicked ass to get where he is over a black kid who was given every privilege. But I'll note that a super-privileged black kid is rare and will have all kinds of opportunities (the ones born of privilege and the ones that come with being what so many elite firms fight over--a black kid with rich white kid qualifications).
Seems a bit sad to take it out on the product of what black families have been striving for for generations, especially when it's so rare. But privilege is privilege. And he won't go lacking for opportunity.
