They can be both! Dumb, evil people enabled by lax standards and a permissive society to be both dumb and evil.

That’s like whenever they say entertainment needs to reflect the world we live in. I’m like ok then about 70% of the characters need to be white.

As for this, I’m sure the elites/very wealthy will find ways to get their kids into school

As I said last time this came up

30 years ago (I.E. when most legacy parents went to collage) more than 70% of America was white. If those numbers show discrimination at all, it's the other way around

Not at the age of most people's college admissions.

It's not really fair to count 90 yr old white people who have virtually no chance of applying to college.

That said, the population of legacies is based on, duh, the population they used to graduate. Deal with it.

I went to school with a lot of people whose parents both graduated from this same university. It's a good school, so many of the progeny were brilliant. Some were dopes, but that's real diversity for you. To say that no these people can't continue their family tradition, preferentially, is bullshit statism. The relationship can be a long term transaction if you will.

And, as mentioned in the other post on this, Jews are counted as white, and are around 15% of admissions. So it's actually 55% white + 15% Jewish, meaning whites are underrepresented. And that's if you take the 70% number as accurate. Other data shows the gap as even greater.

Top colleges’ preferential treatment of children of alumni, who are often white, has faced mounting scrutiny since the Supreme Court last month struck down the use of affirmative action as a tool to boost the presence of students of color.

The department notified Lawyers for Civil Rights, a nonprofit based in Boston, on Monday that it was investigating the group’s claim that alleges the university “discriminates on the basis of race by using donor and legacy preferences in its undergraduate admissions process.”

The complaint was filed earlier this month on behalf of Black and Latino community groups in New England. The group argued that students with legacy ties are up to seven times more likely to be admitted to Harvard, can make up nearly a third of a class and that about 70% are white. For the Class of 2019, about 28% of the class were legacies with a parent or other relative who went to Harvard.

Ending legacy preferences is “one of many steps that Harvard and other universities can take to increase access, diversity, and equity in admissions,” said Jane Sujen Bock, a board member of the Coalition for a Diverse Harvard, which includes alumni, student and staff.

How hilarious is this, they are attacking the institution that was DEFENDING THEM ILLEGALLY in order to 'get back' at conservatives?

Oh no! Rich legacy admissions won't get into Harvard! What a travesty!

I was under the impression that legacy admissions also have certain "generous financial obligations" that are "strongly encouraged" to help support the college in question. If tossing money at Harvard no longer guarantees this, how long before big donors move towards an institution that does allow this exchange?

Seriously, don’t tempt me with a good time. Also, I’m guessing many of those 70% are “fellow whites”.
