13. AA is about race and gender.
We do other things to address class.

Colleges accept women and minorities from ALL classes to address AA, and they accept poor people and give them financial aid to address class issues.

The programs overlap in some places, and don't in others.

Like I said elsewhere, there are plenty of wealthy women and black people over the age of 35 who are VPs at large corporations who are being shut out from the executive offices. Their problems don't have to do with class.

(Incidentally, UPS is NOT one of those companies, and it's one of the best run company in America.)
