[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If applicants with less than stellar scores can get into the elite schools because people who were brown or black faced legal discrimination over 50 years ago, by claiming that they still can't compete because of that past wrong, then white kids whose parents attended the elite colleges should be able to get in  by claiming that they have the right family connections to keep growing the endowments.

Actually the white kids have a stronger case, because their argument rings truer to me.

If I were the President of Harvard and not married to my first cousin and struggling to raise our five kids on her waiters salary in Alabama, I would make legacy admissions 75% of all seats at Harvard and all other elites like the University of Alabama. I will pray to JEESUS to make this dream of mine come true when we go to our Southern Baptist Church service today

Your JEESUS is weird
Can you not tell the difference between giving an admission break to the privileged among the privileged, compared to someone disadvantaged by the heavy hand of history
These institutions for the privileged are loosing their status, the best among the best go elsewhere
Harvard does have a high ranking in the US, but not the top of the world [/quote]
