There's also the legacy factor with people of color. As NPC members of color have kids, they'll be sending them to college as well.
Ummm, no......

Still silly.

Ever heard of HBCUs, that have been in existance for at least 130 years, where the majority of the students attending are people of color / AfAm. So, Blacks have been earning degrees for years. Not "every" Black kid going to college is a first generation attendee.

I think you are trying to make a very broad assumption / generalization based on limited knowledge / awareness.
