[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's complete BS. It's a practice that they used as a way to not increase the Jewish population,  and now it's a practice they use as a way to  not increase the Asian American population.

Disturbing to think they are still using a method created by white supremacists back in the 1920s as an excuse to say, "oh, we need rich people's money so we can admit more URM".

If they lowered the cost, coupled with the amount these univ have in their endowments, the would not need to rely on legacy donations.

Rich parents is how Trump and Bushes got into ivy leagues. Let that sink in.[/quote]

And the Kennedy’s and the Gores and the Kerry’s and…. There are a heck of a lot more not so bright kids of wealthy alumni that are Democrats in the Ivy League. Let that sink in.  [/quote]
I'm totally against legacies, but those ^ people are much brighter than Trump or GWB, MUCH more.  So, that list doesn't mean what you think it means.[/quote]

:roll:  You’ve apparently never met any of the second and third generation Kennedy or Gore kids. Not the sharpest tools in the shed. And I wouldn’t be staking anything on the intelligence of Al Gore or John Kerry, either. Their careers just show how far the right connections and Ivy League credentials can get you. [/quote]
No one can be as dumb as Trump. At the least, those people know how to speak like intelligent beings.[/quote]

Clearly you didn't follow her short-lived attempt to become a senator from NY.
