Welfare. These low-income and minority kids know they won't starve to death, they think that learning is "acting white". Here's the result.
Oh well, better for the rest of us.

I suggest that the disparity of result may have always existed, but in the past there were fewer women in the workforce and more jobs in manual labor such as manufacturing etc., so that a lack of academic achievement didn't necessarily result in economic insecurity.
So your argument that poor educational outcomes can be attributed to inverted racism doesn't stand up. It may well be a factor, but you appear to be arguing that poor non-white kids with a bad attitude are primarily responsible for dragging down overall results, and I don't agree.
Do you really think so? I'd prefer to live in a society where everyone was well-educated, or at least enjoyed learning.
I think you'd find there is some spillover benefit for yourself to be had from "these low-income and minority kids" receiving high-quality education.
Unfortunately this kind of "magical" thinking is a very weak argument, and just doesn't work.
Welcome to the real world.
In short, dumb people are not going away, so there needs to be a means for them to earn a legal living.
Same exact thing happens in African countries. Every time somebody donates money/food, it goes towards procreation, not improvement of the quality of life or education.
I remember one successful African story. This group of volunteers instead of building a water well decided to involve the residents in the process. So they served as architects, while locals were doing all the hard labor. The results were really good - locals knew how to support the well. They became self-sufficient.
That, in my opinion, is the solution. It's a slow process, but I don't see many alternatives.
