I've been saying this all along. Talent -- true talent -- always rises to the top.
You can hand people an easy "in" to Harvard, bring them in the door, and give them every resource possible to be promoted. But at the end of the day, the bottom line is what it is and those who can lead in a way that makes money will prevail.
I see this in the legal industry. Generally speaking, law school classes are roughly even in terms of academic achievement and intellectual horsepower. So when you socially promote someone into a class that has similar undergrad GPAs and LSAT scores, they're going to be behind the curve. This is particularly pronounced because law school classes are graded on a competitive curve (i.e. if there are 100 students in a class and everyone aces the final, you all get a B; if everyone gets a 0 on the final, you all get a B; more realistically, professor blindly grades all exams and ranks them 1-100, 50th place gets a B). So someone might get socially promoted into, suppose, UT Law. But they're now in direct (and blind) competition with students who have stronger academic backgrounds. All that said, employers will still take minority graduates -- because law firms are generally progressive leftist and because larger corporate clients have various diversity requirements (anywhere from encouraged to "we won't give you work unless you meet a specific quota").
The problem is that no matter what sort of training, mentoring, resources, or anything else you give people, there just might be better lawyers out there. Point being that ultimately, no matter what you do, you can't engineer away the talent gap that will always exist.
