[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, it’s harder to use your legacy status or be assured that your kids will be guaranteed a place at certain exclusive or status conscious institutions. And whatever advantages they have, these have to be couched as “merit” and “hard work” rather than legacy and connections. They’re also being outmuscled and outhustled by  UMC professionals. For example,  they may still make partner at a law firm but it’s probably not a top tier one anymore and they’re expected to produce rather than coast on their credentials. I also think tech is much more egalitarian and that’s where most of the wealth is being generated these days. As a random aside, I’ve seen quite a few of these mediocre legacy white guys fail out of more serious professions and go into crypto. [b]It seems like the fallback, fallback option for failsons these days. [/b][/quote]

So true, but mainly because US has accepted more UC foreigners with privileges AND UC women want the privileges their brothers have - so the privilege market is flooded.[/quote]
