[quote=Anonymous] Of course it grates me that white men got to go to Ivies for generations when women were excluded. And, I don't like legacy status either. [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sotomayor and Obama were affirmative action babies. They benefitted from being in the right generation who first benefitted from schools wanting to help the less privileged. It grates me that Mrs. Obama gripes about her Ivy education at Princeton and Harvard Law. She would have never gotten into either school if she were white. She didn't have the grades for Princeton. She got to "check the box".[/quote] And how about the white men who FOR GENERATIONS didn't have to check a box, but were given entrees to education and careers by virtue of their gender, race and the good old boy network? Does that grate you?[/quote][/quote]
