They do get the same opportunities thanks to affirmative action. Not only are the minorities given the same opportunities to attend top universities they are in fact given preferential treatment over whitey and Asians where an equally strong or stronger whitey or Asian applicant is rejected to accommodate the university PC diversity standards.

Harvard only 43% whitey 
Yale only 47% whitey
All the top universities have less whitey than minorities so now you have whitey like Elizabeth Warren claiming to be Mandan Native Indians to get accepted to Harvard due to reverse discrimination. LOL http://www.snopes.com/graphics/news/warren1.jpg
