Just wait a few more years when you're applying to schools, and for financial aid. Then you'll see things a bit differently. When you REALLY want to get into a school and are turned down because a minority with a lower GPA and SAT is admitted instead of you, then rethink your statement.

The reason its mostly a bunch of white kids is also because many many minorities drop out of highschool long before tenth grade. I don't know what is in their culture to drive them away from education, but its not fair to make white students pay because a group of people were too lazy to study and get their diploma. My husband teaches in a school that is predominantly minorities. He has a kid in 6th grade who's failed 6th grade 4 times. He'll be 15 in September and still in 6th grade. He'll drop out the day he turns 16. Hubby sees it every day. In 6th grade, hubby's school is about 70% minorities. By 12th grade, its more like 20%. Thats hard to believe, but its true. This is why the colleges have mostly white kids... and those white kids are vying for positions with each other and being overlooked when a few minorities apply. Why should minorities be handed something just because their skin color is different? They should work as hard as anybody else to achieve their goals in life.
