I don't know- and never will know- what type of influence being a URM makes on a person. That being said, I could probably compete with them early on from an economic level. Most of my friends as a child are now living off the government in some form or fashion. I'm the only one who attended college.
In other words, I had every reason to fail. But I didn't.
After the life I've had, I'm not going to let external forces dictate my future. Power comes from within. If you don't get into a law school and choose to blame a URM for taking your spot, you don't deserve to go to law school.
