This has been a major scandal in America for awhile now. Major colleges, like Ivy League Schools (Harvard, Yale) and big west coast schools like USC have been implicated in a pay-for-admissions scandal.
My take is, you have these rich white parents teaching their kids about white privilege but then they pay for privileges and only the poorer white people who can't do that get passed up in admissions so that a less academically accomplished brown kid can get into the school, meaning that white privilege is only a problem for a white person if they're not rich. Not surprising at all.
The fairest thing I can say about this is that college is usually worthless these days anyway.
