[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why someone would think that whites' (or any other racial group's) motivation is racial solidarity. As a nonathletic, non-legacy white person, why would I be happy that white athletes and legacies are benefiting from preferences? As a non-athletic, non-legacy white person, I recognize that I am being screwed by athletic, legacy, and race preferences. I understand the motives behind these preferences: legacies and athletes make the university more profitable. Race preferences appeal to the racists on the left, Harvard's natural constituency. [/quote] Neither legacy nor athletic preferences make the university more profitable. Studies show that eliminating legacy preferences has no impact on alumni giving, and Harvard's athletic department most assuredly does not make money. You expose your own not-so-closeted bias with that statement. [/quote]
