You're andecdotal evidence is pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
State schools compared to privately funded schools may well teach the same syllabus, but the private school will absolutely teach it better, that's why people pay.
Almost certainly yes, and there are many examples of this, but a person from a poorer background will absolutely have a harder time of it, plenty of research has been done on this.

Yikes, Steve says some dumb shit and suddenly everyone has to come high five each other lol. Okay. That is some nice E-loyalty.

There's free lunch programs and food stamps/WIC programs.
Vocabulary:
Books....read them. I recommend a dictionary if you want to broaden your vocabulary. I know every school I went to had them. I had to copy from one several times.
Effort:
That was just a weak underlying cause.
Hope and growth:
Instill the value of education in your children and hope and growth should rise. Even in poor families.
Cognition:
Kids shut down more if they are poor I guess? Take advantage of tutoring programs and mentor your children.
Relationships:
Don't really know what to say about that. Some things you will have to overcome like being from a single parent home.
Stress:
This could help and could be found with very little research.

None of the jobs you just listed require any sort of skill or achievement to where affirmative action is needed to get in lol.
I'm actually not anglo-saxon. Nice confirmation bias, though. I put down white on forms, but am in a group of people who are discriminated against. Can you guess?

I guess if I read how I have no chance like you guys assume poor people don't then I probably wouldn't have amounted to anything. lol
You can still learn it though. It's not like they are holding secrets to education from you.
Yes, I have stated they'll have a harder time, but they still have the same capability for learning. At some point you just have to put in the work and stop crying about how much easier someone else has it. If you want a good education, work hard for it.
I don't think this is fair but University's do need some wiggle room on who to chose. Affirmative action does good and bad but if it wasn't present, it'd be full of legacies and deep pockets, the institution itself would suffer. Imo, a person with a 3.5 GPA coming from poverty is a far more qualified candidate than someone with a 3.9 GPA coming from wealth.
Coming from low income areas, with poor education, lack of resources, pressure from society AND family (Often) to not pursue higher education, the drive and determination needed to even qualify for Harvard? Shits tough. Low income areas are riddled with drugs, underfunding, lack of support.
Socoll what background are you from in terms of socio-economic? You should visit some of the high schools in the poor areas around you. Get an idea of the "resources" available.
Okay, but instead of using it as an excuse, take an advantage of the solutions. Someone will always have more than you or an advantage of some kind. Use what you got to succeed.

And lol of course the type of school you go to matters. I went to a private school and guarantee I would be 10x the dumbass I am had I stayed in public schools.
Of course there are people like Ben Carson who climbed out of poverty and crime and go on to do amazing things, but even he relied on some level of affirmative action to get into Yale.
And no you cannot buy your way into Harvard unless you're Bill Gate's or Bush's kid. My counselor said that unless you're rich enough to buy the school a new building, having money will not help.
