Raveneye,
I think what Manx is trying to say is that the two issues (socio-economic & race) while related, are separate in his AA statement.
In his argument,the institution is racist, separate from income status in and of itself. So for him (Manx, correct me if I'm wrong in interpreting your position), it's two issues. Getting rid of one does not necessarily fix the other.
EX: A socio-economic neutral application would not resolve racism.
EX: Racism exists outside of the socio-economic sphere.
So, while he agrees with your position on socio-economic parity as one component of a separate issue, he disagrees with you that it would resolve the institutionalized racism that he believes exists.
