[quote=Anonymous]I realize that this thread was originally about Harvard, but this is obviously not representative of a typical college student. Most white people attending Harvard are from, at a minimum, upper-middle class backgrounds, with parents that both have degrees from very good schools. This is NOT typical of white people (or asians). Legacies hurt everyone except for well-off white people. Lower-middle class, working class and poor white people don't have this advantage and are typically hurt by affirmative action programs because they lack financial advantages that are often incorrectly attributed to them, while still being forced to defer to other races.[/quote]
