> In general the poor kids live in higher density areas and the affluent kids live in the suburbs.

The poor kids also live rural.

Remind me again, where there are lower costs, but also lower income, less opportunity, harder to get anywhere, less education? And also, who did most of rural vote for?

In most situations, rural = poverty = trap. Our society is nowhere near prepared in addressing the rurality and poverty trap.

But really, this whole dei being a proxy for this gender or that race issue is looking around the real problem. In the end, its all about access to 2 resources: money and time. The bourgeoisie have it, the proletariat do not. As long as there is a massive gulf between the 2, we'll argue this in different names and forms (civil rights, affirmative action, political correctness, DEI)
